Katherine Guillen has big concerns for and a giant dedication to our environment. She uses printmaking and painting techniques to create subtle, yet striking works. Her work is emotional and engaging. “The intuitiveness and mystery that comes from thoughts that lie on the other side of my consciousness seem to present themselves only when they have long, silent periods of cajoling and something to hold onto. That moment when the idea somehow jumps the wall is exactly the reason I make art.” She continues: “There are so many issues that I hadn’t realized needed addressing.” She continues her search for relevance, trying to figure out what contributions an artist can make and how he/she can help solve problems in today’s world. katherineguillen.com.
