Katherine Dunn ~ Home Decor Artist
|
 |
|
Katherine Dunn interprets the countryside and creatures around her Willamette Valley, Oregon, home in paintings that both shroud and reveal. Influenced by moonlight, mists and other atmospheric phenomena, she characterizes her work as "reflections of my own inner mysteries." Wood is her preferred substrate, especially found wood; acrylics, pastels, inks and the occasional collage are her media of choice.

| Living and painting on her farm in Oregon, Katherine Dunn is keenly aware of the moon above. Its mercurial light sets her work aglow and the whole of nature – her undisputed muse – ebbs and flows under its spell. Here, two yellow-headed birds are not alone in the moon’s shifting aura, as the artist hints at life in the murky swamp below. Acrylics and pastels on pine board. One of a kind; subject to prior sale. 11"W x 15"H. |

| When Katherine Dunn first moved to her Oregon farm, she discovered this old pine table top abandoned in her barn. But as is her wont, she transformed something discarded and forgotten into a stunning and emotional representation of the natural world around her. She grows fennel as companion plants in her front gardens; while some folks consider them to be weeds, she sees them as graceful and home to various birds, as well as shady-creators for her many barn cats. Acrylic on reclaimed pine table top, ready to hang. One of a kind; subject to prior sale. Additional shipping, $50. 26"W x 17"H. |

One of a kind; subject to prior sale. 11.5"W x 16"H. Additional shipping $40. |
