With the marshes, waterways and people of the low-country offering perennial inspiration, Katherine Sandoz examines the quotidian and offers work that celebrates what is precious and unique. She studies, analyzes, and reframes small moments, the mundane, neglected details of the day and the diurnal rhythms that, in turn, inspire illustrations, paintings, fibers-based works, installations and public art. She creates richly woven abstract landscapes utilizing passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media. These dynamic compositions allow the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once.Katherine holds an MFA in Painting and an MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was Professor of Illustration from 1997–2005. She recently completed large-scale public art for The Corner Suite Spa and Wellness Center, and the Enmarket Arena. In 2021, Katherine was named the featured Fine Artist at the Thomasville Wildlife Arts Festival in Thomasville, GA. The Telfair Museum’s Jepson Center for the Art commissioned a large-scale aerial sculpture and mural in 2019. Katherine has acted as an independent curator for Telfair Museums and Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum. Her’ paintings sit in the permanent collections of the Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences, Savannah College of Art and Design, Moffit McKinley Cancer Center, Baptist Medical Center, Perry Lane Hotel, Thomasville Center for the Arts, and Phillips Arena.
