About the Item
In Wayfinding No. 1, Katherine Filice invites the viewer into a fluid, intuitive search for orientation—a quiet mapping of the soul through subtle, luminous gesture. This intimate work, composed of soft washes of ink and translucent chalk lines, captures the raw immediacy of movement and memory. Shades of red earth, forest green, and watery blue collide and dissolve into each other like terrain viewed through fog or feeling. Loose linework emerges almost like spirit trails—arcing, dissolving, reappearing—offering no answers, only a suggestion of path. The work pulses with the energy of discovery, not destination. At its core, Wayfinding No. 1 feels like a meditation on navigating the unknown: personal, emotional, and environmental. It belongs to a larger body of work that blends mark-making and materiality with intuitive cartography, where line is both record and release.
About the Artist
Katherine Filice is an award-winning abstract and multimedia artist based in Northern California. Her practice is rooted in drawing and expanded through ink, sculpted paper, found natural objects, and buried canvas. Deeply inspired by the forests of the Sierra Nevada, Filice’s work is a co-creation with nature—often embedding organic materials or collaborating with time and terrain to shape her substrates. Her pieces explore connection, memory, grief, and the unseen rhythms that tie us to one another and to place. With a background in creative communications and over 30 years leading a nationally recognized design studio, Filice now focuses her full-time practice on the poetic intersection between nature, spirit, and mark. Her work has been exhibited in museums, art fairs, and galleries across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Katherine Filice
Katherine Filice is an award-winning abstract artist based in Northern California, best known for her evocative multimedia works, which art critic Nancy Kay Turner described as “sensuous, tactile, and provocative.” Drawing inspiration from centuries-old forests and the practice of Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), her work explores themes of spirituality, memory, and human connectivity. Her practice merges ink, oil painting, drawing, and a range of found and natural materials.
Filice’s artistic journey has been shaped by a comprehensive traditional art education and invaluable mentorship from artists, critics, and curators through several New York–based programs, including the Yellow Chair Salon and NYC Crit Club, as well as continuing education at UC Santa Cruz and Stanford University. In addition to her fine art practice, she founded and led a highly successful creative studio in Silicon Valley for over 30 years, earning numerous design awards for her commercial work. She holds a BS degree from the University of San Francisco, and her professional and educational background deeply influence her exploration of human relationships and their reflection within the natural world.
Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, Europe, and Asia, and is held in private and corporate collections worldwide. Most recently, she was featured in her solo exhibition The Nature of Things at Be Seen Gallery in Northern California. Other solo exhibitions include Lost in the Woods at the Pacific Art League and Lost & Found; Found at 1202 Contemporary. In 2024–25, her work was included in several museum exhibitions, including the New Museum Los Gatos, the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, and the Monterey Museum of Art Biennial in Monterey, California. Filice serves on the San Benito County Arts Council Curatorial Committee and has been an AIVA judge for over 15 years. She currently resides in Northern California.
