Katherine Bernhardt received a MFA degree from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2000. Her work attracts the eye like painted wallpaper, with rhythmic patterns that mimic those found in Moroccan rugs and African textiles. These works are often referred to as "pattern" paintings, as the motifs she illustrates are repeated within a single work. Her exhibition experience includes: Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, TX (2017), Canada in New York (2020), Carl Freeman Gallery in the UK (2020).
