That innocent That brutal

Me

 Here is a glimpse of the show... There are a couple images of me being awkward as always. There are also images of the collaboration Brian and I did with out work. I think that was the best part of the show. His paintings paired with my fee pictures. How perfect... I would love to show this work around the world. If you own a gallery or know of a gallery I would love to be in contact with them. Please let me know!

At the show they had a guest book for people to sign, and it brought me to tears to read the short stories people wrote and how they connected to my work. It meant that what I am/have suffered through was for the better. I want to help people with the similar issues I have, I want people to share those stories with me and for me to help them as much as I can. I have always been alone in this pain, but now it feels like I won't be anymore.

Ubiquitous Shadows - Overture Center - Madison Wisconsin

Ubiquitous Shadows - was a show that I did with my co-exhibitor Brian Bartlett in Madison Wisconsin at the Overture Center for the Arts. It was truly a great and wonderful experience. I enjoyed working with Brian for his humor, excellent talent, and great ideas. Beth, and Meri-Rose of the Overture Center were the commanders of the operation with great knowledge and positive attitudes. They all were so warm, fun, and insightful. To have my personal work, my feet series to be exact, at a prestigious place as the Overture Center was an honor. I was thrilled and scared at the same time when I found out they selected my work. This series has never been shown to the public before this event. I didn't know what people would say, think, or how they would react. I was taking a leap of faith. Beth and the Overture Center believed in me, and my work, and that made me feel like what I created was something special. I want to thank them, Brian, and the sponsors Madison Investment Advisors, LLC and Arts Access Fund a component fund of the Madison Community Foundation.
 

Artists Brian Bartlett and Katie Markson employ portraiture to expose human vulnerability. Where Barlett's faded and abstracted paintings depict satirical characters with familiar yet memorable features, Markson's black and white photographs provide a striking glimpse into the personal reality of living with club foot.
