Katherine DuTremble paints the land and sea as bursts of energy. Though her forms and relationships between objects are always carefully observed and communicated, DuTremble lets her brush leave streaks of light down a tree trunk and dabs of pure color atop a fern’s fronds, invigorating the traditional landscape format with her personal touch.

A native Louisianian, Katherine DuTremble currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina. She works in both monotype printing and oil painting, methods which she celebrates for their differences: one to be admired close up and one from a distance. She continually adapts her process to achieve her characteristic notes of drama and an eerie yet inviting familiarity. Commissions accepted.
