Abstract expressionist painter, Katherine Borkowski Byrne joins two other female painters in an exhibition at the Becket Arts Center. This upcoming weekend will be the last chance to view this exhibit, as it runs through July 19.
Katherine has been a participating member at NAACO Gallery since the beginning of the 2009 season. She is clearly one of the most prolific artists within the group. She almost always enters a new painting (or two) into each month's themed, Front Hall show and routinely rotates her paintings with newer ones, within the main gallery.
Katherine lives art. She reads and converses about it daily with enthusiasm, just lighting up the room as her voice grows louder for emphasis. If you happen to catch her while she is manning the gallery desk, don't hesitate to ask her some thoughts regarding the art world and today's art market...she's a wealth of knowledge.
She also has obtained the most impressive painting tool I've ever heard of. Her son, while visiting China, brought home a very valuable, wide Chinese brush as a gift for Katherine. She hasn't wasted time in putting it to use either. Recently, she collaborated with another artist-member, Ed Carson, on a couple of large-scaled works on paper, reminiscent of Franz Kline. We hope to be able to showcase these works in the months to come.
Becket Arts Center is located a 12 Brooker Hill Road in Becket, MA. (closed on Wednesdays)
