Our Product Story
Katherine Dunn's paintings shroud and reveal, showing a tree here, a horse there, a scrambled roofline, a horizon draped in fog. "My paintings are reflections of my own inner mysteries," Katherine says. She draws inspiration from the farmland of Oregon's Willamette Valley, where she lives and paints, populating her landscapes with the creatures she sees from her studio window. She works in acrylics, mixed media of pastels and inks and bits of collage. And when each painting is finished, she gives it a title—often a fairly long one—and always, like the piece itself, open to interpretation. Though each painting has personal meaning, Katherine says those meanings unfold over time, sometimes long after she's put down her brush. "It's only days, or even months or years later that I can see what some pieces mean to me," she says. "So in that way, they are all little mysteries."
