Native Californian artist Kate Joiner uses instinctive loose brushwork and color palette as a representation of her surroundings. She received her BFA in Multi Media from San Diego State University. Art currently available for purchase at Oceanside Museum of Art, Cobalt Gallery-San Diego, and Julie's Beachlife-Del Mar, California.
“As a painter I often explore how the human persona connects with our California landscape, considering its development and destruction along the way. I am equally happy working on small works or large-scale, as long as a message and intrigue can be conveyed within each one.”
Statement
I make art from what is around me physically and mentally, past and present. The unmitigated range in my work is a statement of me, my observations, depicted in series, as I travel back and forth in thought. As a native Californian, I am concerned with the development/destruction of our coastal community often manifest in my work.
Whether in structured or intuitive work, composition and color are very important and my final objective is feels complete when the balance of loose paint application and calming, reinforcing lines create a synergy that is contrasting but also harmonious.
