About the Artwork:
“This piece was inspired by a photo I took while traveling in Bolivia. As we were driving through town, my eye was drawn to a colorful building with a patchwork paint job that broke up a majority of the previous earth toned buildings. Without slowing down, I rolled my window down and took a quick snapshot of a man standing on a chair painting the building. Upon further inspection, I realized he was actually removing graffiti that had been spray painted up and down the wall. With the odd layering of color, I got the sense that this might be an ongoing game of call and response between the maintenance man and some local mark makers.” – Kate Wadsworth
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Kate Wadsworth was raised on the beautiful east side of Oahu, Hawaii, where she currently lives as an illustrator and graphic designer. She spent several years living on the East Coast where she received her BFA in Communication Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond – a multicultural city that strengthened her interest in figurative art and urban sketching. Equally inspired by the natural world, she loves to experiment with bold colors, exaggerated shapes, and purposeful line work to tell stories with subtle but deliberate symbolism. While Kate often works digitally with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, she especially enjoys using acrylic paint, paint markers, and coloured pencil.
