Katherine
Brown was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948. Her father, an avid outdoorsman
often had Katherine accompany him on his many excursions into the surrounding
countryside of Mississippi and Arkansas. It was there that she developed
her love of nature and the play of sunlight across the landscape. Her
family's reverence for the arts afforded her frequent trips to museums,
the ballet, and concerts. Her familiarity with great works of art inspired
her dream to create beautiful paintings of her own.
Katherine Brown began studying art under Paul Penczner, who was then the
leading portrait painter in Memphis. Penczner, an Austrian by birth, was
a classical artist and teacher. Katherine acquired a vast knowledge of
drawing and perspective which she built upon at the National Academy School
of Fine Art in New York City. There she studied under the prestigious
artists Daniel Green, N.A. and the late Robert Phillip, N.A. "The soul
cannot express itself if the hand cannot execute," Katherine believes.
Using only the purest oil pigments made in Germany and Holland, and fine
linen canvases she constructs herself, Katherine creates brilliant works
of art distinctly her own.
Katherine
Brown has exhibited in numerous group shows in Atlanta, New York, Washington,
D.C., Dayton, Ohio, St. Simon's Island and Sea Island, Georgia. Her work
is in private and corporate collections across the United States, Europe,
Australia and Japan.

Woodruff; author M. Scott Peck, M.D.; Richard Evans, Executive Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer for Gaylord Entertainment; Scott Shepherd,
Publisher, Southern Living Magazine; and William Mitchell, President,

and the Wedding Palace in Kyoto, Japan. She has done a series of paintings
for Tiffany & Company in Atlanta, as well as a number of paintings for
Southern Living Magazine's show homes in Atlanta and Nashville.
