Katherine Venturelli is nationally and internationally recognized for the unique artist books and fine prints she produces in her printmaking studio in Sutter Creek. Her work is represented in many prestigious collections, including the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the Getty Research Center in L.A., the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Crocker Art Museum.

Originally trained as a sculptor, Venturelli has found artist books to be a satisfying medium for expressing her ideas. “I am attracted to artist books both as physical objects and as containers of meaning,” says Venturelli. She finds her inspiration in the power of symbol, universal order and chaos, and archetypes that when combined create a meditative intimacy.

Along with the display of her artist's books and prints is a collection of mixed media work. Venturelli takes a tangent and collages her printed imagery creating dynamic spatial illusions and layers of complex patterns. This exhibition is a symphony of color at play, and work in contemporary form.
