The Cyber Art Show
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Katerina Ring (born 1967 in Coronado, California).
Katerina studied graphic and textile design at the University of California, Davis before pursuing postgraduate studies through the University of Georgia in Cortona, Italy. She also studied drawing and painting in Germany, Florence, New Mexico and California (with several plein air painters) and at Scottsdale Artists’ School, Arizona.
Her subject matter and media have evolved in the past 15 years from very detailed Tuscan still lifes in watercolor to pastel landscapes on textured surfaces, to semi-impressionistic and abstract oils of animal and plant life. Throughout, there has always been a graphic element to her work, and an obvious love for rich colors.
Through her paintings in Italy, Katerina aims to honor the architecture (and its harmony within the natural surroundings) of centuries of genius and craft. The work she produces in Zambia ties together two of her life’s passions: design and animals. Through her paintings she strives to express her wonder at these two worlds, and create awareness and appreciation of history’s importance and nature’s fragility.
