About Katherine Corden Art

Artist Bio: Katherine Corden Bellisario (b. 1991) is a fine artist living in Traverse City, Michigan with her husband and two young children. In her work, she is best known for her unique expression of the figure and use of color. She attributes much of her influence to her art teaching mother who started her in early art classes, as well as her background in studying anatomy while pursuing her first career as a physical therapist. Her lifestyle and creative work have blended over the years, and much like mixed paint, the two have become inseparable. Artist Statement: Painting is my preferred way of meditating on, and responding to, the energy and nostalgia found in the nature and social culture around me. I paint relationships. The relationship between colors, between me and the paint. The relationship between family and friends, humans and nature. Community really. I explore these themes through a variety of subjects, with the common goal of inspiring you to feel transported and connected.Read their story
