About Katherrin
Katherrin is a first-generation American, multimedia visual artist from Chicago. Through paintings, sculptures, photographs, murals, and linocuts, she explores her Mexican- Argentine roots, colorful facets of everyday life, and philosophical concepts. She is motivated to create in hopes of portraying underrepresented perspectives, inspiring empathy, and establishing meaningful relationships.
At age 16, she founded the 501(c)(3) nonprofit pending Visionary Art Gallery. Seeking to provide more exhibition and networking opportunities for young visual artists, she independently organized three annual pop-up youth art galleries and hopes to expand them across the East Coast.
