Altitude Shift began with Kate recollecting her time at the Continental Divide in Colorado, where she spent summers during college. There is nothing like the sky and mountains of Colorado to her. During covid lockdown, Kate's heart reached back in time to summers spent climbing and horseback riding in the Rockies, under that vast sky.
This abstracted mountain painting references a real place, to begin with, but she evolved the final artwork into… someplace new. Kate's work is more about creating a feeling than a replication. She worked with colors that are not realistic because she is fascinated with the science behind how our brains perceive value before color and take this as a creative challenge. Kate's paintings read the same in black and white because the values of her selected colors define shadow and light, creating a form that your brain recognizes. There is an excellent article about this from a doctor at Stanford. It blows her mind and she recommends that you look it up.
