Discover BAA Artist Members in our comprehensive and ever-expanding Artist Directory.
You are a part of the BAA’s mission to connect artists and community, inspire creativity, and increase access to the visual arts. Maybe you donate every year. Your contributions are the foundation of the BAA, and we thank you for your ongoing support. If you can give more, this is a great year to do so. Maybe you’ve put a few dollars in a jar at a BAA exhibit or fundraiser. Would you consider making an annual gift? You can do this easily by mail or online through our website. Perhaps you once made a $10 contribution to be in the Artists Directory, and we’ve kept your name there for people to reach out and learn more about you and your work. Will you donate $10 again, and commit to doing so monthly or annually?

Biographical Info
Katherine Borkowski Byrne is known for her intuitive brushwork and the use of accidents to express pure experience. With opera music playing, she paints with old socks, sticks, and fingers as well as brushes. The paint flies all over the studio often landing on her head and face. The energy is a physical energy as she dances and moves around the canvas on the wall or paper on the floor and she is totally absorbed into the act of painting. She captures that feeling of oneness between the human touch of the marks made and the natural forces at work in the landscape using the wonderful shapes found in the twigs, roots, vines, clouds, rocks, water, flowers, bugs and other creatures. Her influences include the American abstract expressionists, the German Expressionists and the philosophy and ideas found in Zen.
Borkowski-Byrne’s work hangs in many private and public collections. She is a graduate of the Boston Museum School and Tufts University.
