Katherine Borkowski-Byrne
Artist Katherine Borkowski-Byrne, who works with experimental techniques and primarily in oil, describes painting as “a purely visual language that speaks to the eyes as music speaks to the ears.” This philosophy is evident in all of her work. Whether providing a brash cacophony or a somber harmony, each of her richly textured abstract paintings resonates with a distinct visual "melody" all its own.
After seeing a painting by Dutch-American artist Willem de Kooning — the de facto leader of the New York avant-garde art movement of the 1950s known as Abstract Expressionism — Borkowski-Byrne found herself on the path to a career as a painter.
And while she has also since cited the work of painters Henri Matisse and Wassily Kandinsky as having been influences on various projects of hers — a work that centered on the latter had Borkowski-Byrne painting with long-haired brushes attached to the end of a mop handle — the artist’s inspiration comes from many outside sources. She typically allows herself to dissolve into the process, casting aside whatever her initial concept might have been and letting her paintings take on lives of their own.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Borkowski-Byrne earned her BFA in 1986 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Massachusetts. During her time at the school, she was honored to receive an award for independent work in which celebrated American painter Frank Stella was one of the judges.
Since her days at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Borkowski-Byrne has gone on to become a prolific and notable award-winning artist. She is an associate member of the Fountain Street Gallery in Boston. She continues to create melodious abstract works from her studio in North Adams, Massachusetts.
