The Artistic Journey of Kathryn E. Martin
Kathryn E. Martin received a BFA in Sculpture from The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) in 2001, and an MA and MFA from The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) in 2005 and 2007. In her practice as a working artist, she focuses on observing everyday objects, spaces, and histories. Concentrating on formal characteristics, she makes instinctive, calculated decisions to dissect, interpret, repeat, and re-assemble inspired parts into new, oftentimes immersive sculptural landscapes. Kathryn has exhibited extensively in solo and group shows throughout the United States and is proud to be the recipient of several public art commissions in Wisconsin, most recently installing a new body of work, "Transformation," in Milwaukee’s downtown Baird Center. For this work, she was selected as one of twenty artists to create site-specific work telling of Milwaukee and its rich history. Kathryn is a Senior Lecturer at UWM’s Peck School of the Arts, where she has taught for the past 20 years. In addition to her work in the classroom, she serves as the Recruitment Coordinator for Art and Design and is the Faculty Mentor for First Year Art and Design students in the Living Learning Community (LLC).
