Escaping Converse Colors.


Katherine Rogerson Moore is a young, local artist based out of Brighton, MA, whose work expresses raw human emotion through a combination of color, line, and poetry in a variety of mediums, including graphite drawings, Oil and Acrylic paintings on both canvas and found wood, mixed media, and collage work, as well as her own distinctive signature technique -- hand stitched water color paintings. Eighteen months ago, Moore had an aesthetic vision to incorporate black thread into her watercolor paintings, and she began hand stitching line into her works with a needle and black thread, juxtaposing sharp black thread lines and soft, smooth colors of paint, creating an element of precision that is not normally found in water color work and resulting in an overall subtle perfection. The hidden details in all of Moores designs are what set her work apart. Further examination of her pieces quickly reveals more than first meets the eye. Her work has been shown at InHouse Cafe in Allston; CafĂ© 47 in Boston, The Conant Gallery in Groton, Massachusetts, and a show at Devens on November 9th.
