Masterworks cordially invites you to the opening of Wild, Uncaged and Free, a show by Katherine Summerfield on Friday, September 28th.
Katherine was born and raised in Bermuda. She discovered a love of illustrating when she received her first set of inks. Exploring through this new medium helped Katherine realise her particular style and passion for illustrating. In her previous six solo shows, Katherine has always focused on the beauty of the Island, from the poinciana in her grandmother’s garden to glorious sea fans. Katherine’s artwork explores the natural habitat and elegance of the Island. Inspired by the minimal realism style of Charlie Harper, she uses colour, texture, geometric shapes and fine detail while playing with scale and composition. In her latest collection of illustrations; Wild, Uncaged and Free, Katherine has used a rich, opulent, autumnal colour pallet focusing on themes of Bermuda’s birds.
The opening reception is from 5:30pm until 7pm and the show is on display in the Rick Faries Gallery until Wednesday, October 24th.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome.
For more information, contact 299-4000.
