Columbia, SC
Kathryn Van Aernum has been creating photographs for thirty years; from an origin with film, she now shoots only digital and produces images in both color and black and white. She continues her quest to create black and white images that explore the nuance of film.
Ms. Van Aernum holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction in visual arts from Naropa University. She is also an accomplished watercolorist, mixed media, and book artist. The Arthur and Meta Jaffe Rare Book Collection at Florida Atlantic University acquired one of her works for its collection. She also has won national recognition for her graphic design work.
Subjects from the mundane to the sublime capture her imagination and she continues to cultivate a sense of spaciousness in her photography. The elements of design—harmony, balance, and rhythm—present themselves to Kathryn almost subconsciously, allowing her to capture a moment that transports the viewer into their own minds, memories, and dreams.
