Katherine Filice Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

Katherine Filice allows you to pull out of her works what you see and does not layer any expectations on her viewers. Filice's works are all deeply personal works, ones she pours hundreds of hours into. She is an internationally awarded and collected artist, participating in art fairs in Hong Kong, Belgium, New York and LA. Her most recent fair was “ArtCan,” where she exhibited a six-foot tall layered work, whose studies on for sale. Filice is best known for her unique approach to meditative line making. Using primarily a fine-point Rapidograph technical pen, she explores the human experience with a provocative and unexpected dialogue. Filice pushes the technical possibilities of a simple curved line while asking us to think more deeply and share more openly as she exposes not only the creative zeitgeist of her inner world but our collective spiritual awakening. Filice's background features traditional fine art education in conjunction with a long career as a creative director, graphic artist and designer. She has received over 100 national and international awards, personally and with her team, for commercial work in design, painting, writing and photography. Additionally, Filice holds a BS degree in organizational leadership from the University of San Francisco and is an Alpha Sigma Nu Honor Society lifetime member. Her education and work experience have driven much of her exploration of human relationships. After decades of quietly creating, Filice's contemporary art career exploded when she was selected to exhibit at the prestigious ArtRooms London exhibition in 2018. Shortly thereafter, her highly provocative series “The Secrets We Keep” was featured in a two-month solo exhibit at the Gilroy Center for the Arts. Filice also participated as an invited exhibitor in the “Asia Contemporary Art Show” in Hong Kong in October 2018, with her work Birth featured as one of the top ten outstanding artworks. In early 2019, Filice’s works Birth and I Remember were selected as finalists for the 2019 International Artist Grand Prize Art Revolution show in Taipei, juried from over 4,200 submissions. She was also awarded the 2019 Startup SF Best Artist 3rd Place Award and received an Apero Curator Review Award for I Remember.
