About Katrina:
The colorful and vibrant creations of Katrina Read, born and raised in Australia, reflect the beauty of the natural landscape for which the continent is so renowned. Indeed, the various topographies of her home have greatly influenced Read’s art, as has her experience in other creative realms such as acting and writing. Working with acrylic on canvas, she depicts the essence of her subject matter—be it a windswept beach or peacefully swimming koi—with brushstrokes sometimes feathered, other times crisp. Light plays a crucial role in these images, creating a sense of infinite space, liveliness, and depth in each piece. Above all, in work Read strives to “capture a sense of calm and peace” that connect with the viewer on an emotional level.

Katrina Read’s paintings have been exhibited throughout Australia, Asia, and North America and have featured in several leading design magazines and publications. She currently works and resides in Australia.

Established in 1984, Agora Gallery is dedicated to the promotion of national and international contemporary artists. The Gallery caters to the taste and trends of the sophisticated New York art market and the Gallery's discerning worldwide collector base.
