Katherine Christie Wilson lived all of her life in Maine until moving to Placitas,
New Mexico, in 2009. She graduated from Colby College and later majored in
Painting at the Portland School of Art (now Maine College of Art). She received
her Masters Degree from the University of Maine. She began her art career
working in oils and watercolors, and during the 1980's created silkscreen
prints, posters and cards. In the 1990's she worked for BekArts, painting
custom designs on ceramic tile. Two workshops at Haystack Mountain School of
Crafts ignited an interest in painting on silk.
Katherine's paintings and serigraphs have been featured in many solo and
group shows and represented by galleries in Portland, Biddeford Pool,
Brunswick, Boothbay Harbor and Rockland Maine. Katherine's tile designs can
be seen in fine homes and business establishments from Philadelphia and New
York to Maine. Her silk scarves have been sold at the Maine Crafts Association,
Penobscot Marine Museum, and are currently carried by Sea of Cotton in Bar
Harbor, Maine.
Katherine has recently written and illustrated a cookbook called Great Dinners
on a Shoestring: Easy, Delicious and Inexpensive Meals for All Seasons.
During her career in education, Katherine taught art, writing, and history. She
was also a guidance counselor for high school and college transition students.
When she retired from her job in the schools, Katherine and her husband David
(an architect) moved to New Mexico, where they had visited often over the
past twenty years. They are excited to be restoring and finishing a house that
was designed by David's previous architecture partner.
