Katherine Spalding’s artwork and sculpture is recognized and collected by major national and international corporations, private collectors, museums and naturalist organizations around the world. Well known for her ability to capture intricate details in both her paintings and bronzes, Katherine is perhaps most famous for her portrayals of wildlife in their natural habitats. Growing up in south Florida as the daughter of two architects, Katherine began drawing as a child, and felt a keen appreciation of the natural world which surrounded her. This lifelong love of nature has led to extensive travel for both study and work in such exotic locales as the Amazon, the Faukland Islands, Tasmania, New Zealand, Australia, Antarctica, and Western Europe.

To develop her artistic skills, Katherine studied drawing and etching at New York’s Pratt Institute and at Cornell University with courses in drawing and lithography. She also studied engraving and bronze casting at the University of Iowa and engraving at the acclaimed Atelier Garrigues in France. One of her most monumental works is “Continuum of Life” a watercolor executed as a 124-foot original at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. This vivid portrait of the wildlife and habitat which is one of southwest Florida’s greatest treasures took more than six months to complete. Folios of the 30 artist’s proofs of the project were donated to both the Library of Congress and the State of Florida.

In 1986, Katherine turned her full attention to bronze sculpting where she uses the centuries old “lost wax” technique. She has completed several large works including a 50-foot arching display of flying fish which graces a fountain at the famed Atlantis Resort Casino.
