Nevada Artists Association Gallery Features New Work By Catherine King
The recently refurbished Nevada Artists Association Gallery at 449 West King Street, in Carson City, will feature the remarkable work of Verdi digital artist and photographer Catherine King, now through Feb. 16.
The images in King’s solo “Back Wall” show are digital composites that feature deeply imaginative, evocative and sometimes dreamlike juxtapositions.
Each fine art digital image is a compilation of multiple photographs, sophisticated photo collages King brings together and enhances through a wide range of techniques. Her arresting composites grow through the creative layering of those images, the selective application of various blend modes and effects, and a painterly approach to lighting and use of color.
King tells stories through decorative, historical and inspirational artwork, with a goal of engaging her viewer’s imaginations. Stories, histories, fantasies from childhood, over-the-top cinema, art history and literature are all inspirations for her complex and evocative photo collages. A large part of King’s inspiration comes from her travels. Included in this exhibition are images based on trips she’s taken to Tibet, Bhutan and Cuba.
“Life for me revolves around the joyous, playful, intense, intentional and relentless creative process,” she says.
King is originally from southern California and studied Fine Art at UCLA. She worked as an artist for many years before returning to school to complete a degree in education. She teaches online community college classes in Marketing and Advertising as well as working as a technical training instructional developer. Every other moment is spent traveling and creating art.
More of her work can be seen at www.ckingfineart.com or http://kingc.myportfolio.com. Her work is also on display at Artsy Fartsy Gallery in Carson City and Orinda Gallery in Reno. Her work has been published in Somerset Digital Magazine and Living the Photo Artistic Life magazine. She has featured tutorials on ShiftArt.com and ProPhotoArtistry.com, and has received numerous awards from the Light, Space and Time gallery and the NAA.
