Kathryn Cárdenas is a classically-trained visual artist from the Philippines and a former corporate and non-profit professional. She trained at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy and holds dual graduate degrees with honors in fine art and visual culture studies at Kendall College of Art and Design (KCAD) of Ferris State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. Kathryn’s works explore the intersection between art, faith, beauty, and the nature of the transcendent. She represents these themes through contemplative pieces with objects, figures, or landscapes resembling personal and lived experiences of her search for Beauty, Truth, and Goodness—finding God in different moments. Kathryn is an Adjunct Professor at the Ateneo de Manila University's Fine Arts Department and works in her private art practice in Metro Manila, Philippines.
