Katherine Houston uses reverse painting to create abstract and bold motifs that explore the idea of infinite space. Her works often start with a color idea before evolving into compositions that feature color as the primary subject. Working primarily with plexiglass, Houston applies layers of paint to the back of each panel before turning the plexiglass over to see the totality of what she has created, “a beautiful, aesthetic interpretation of how the colors speak to me.” Houston's studies have included institutions such as The University of Houston, Glassell School of Art, The Art League, and Hudson River Valley Art. She has also studied privately with a number of renowned artists, such as Will Clem, Ruth Munson, Polly Liu, Gary Hernandez, Skip Lawrence, Arthur Turner, Gael Staack and Quang Ho. Houston's work has been exhibited across the United States and is held in private and public collections worldwide.
