Artwork by Katharine Charles

It’s dangerous to look trees or planets in the eye. They perceive it as a challenge. You can’t fight them all.

I obsess over moons and tides, geometries both classical and eldrich, and what the faces in everything want from me. I paint in the hope that rendering my visions visible will help me understand and control them.


Works in watercolor, pencil, and charcoal. Block prints and digital paintings.
