Hey hey, I’m Kathedral.
Katherine Grace (she/her) is a Black and Native American visual artist from Kansas City, Missouri. Her recent work moves beyond personal and collective memory to examine the emotional architecture of familial and platonic relationships. Focusing on how closeness and distance shape who we become. Working in oil and acrylic on canvas, she is currently developing multiple series that explore intimacy, separation, and the quiet tensions within the bonds we choose and inherit.
