FCCS Visiting Artist Series: Katherine Pickering

This talk will be held in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 150 Creative and Critical Art Theory class.

Katherine Pickering is a visual artist based on syilx territory in Kelowna, British Columbia. Rooted in material experimentation and the poetics of abstraction, her paintings explore the intersections of drawing, sculpture and textile, emphasizing the material and conceptual fluidity between mediums. Her work has been shown across Canada, the United States and internationally, including at the Kelowna Art Gallery, the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, Fort Gallery and Artcite Inc., with an upcoming presentation in Hyères, France.

Pickering holds an MFA from Concordia University (Montréal) and a BFA from UBC Okanagan, where she teaches in the Department of Creative Studies.
