Katherine Van Drie is an artist whose works encompass, among other things, textiles, ceramics and sculpture.
In her 2019 body of work, "I’ve Been Told", Katherine explores the subtle nuances and glaring implications of the effects that the multi-billion dollar diet industry has on the way we define and perceive ourselves. Her artwork seeks to examine the struggle to reach unattainable, homogenous, culture-driven goals of lifestyle, health and beauty that have resulted in increased stress, depression and a rise in mental illnesses including eating disorders.
Katherine completed her BFA at Indiana University Northwest. She has two pieces in Indiana University's permanent art collection, and has exhibited at numerous locations in Chicago, including 33 Contemporary Gallery, the Beverly Arts Center and Zhou B. Art Center. Katherine now lives in South Carolina where she is a MFA Candidate (Sculpture, 2021) at Clemson University. Instagram: @kvandrie_art
