Katharine Konietzko

"In my lush and overgrown Los Angeles neighborhood, winding roads and hidden stairways often lead to unusual views. When people look at my paintings, I hope they feel the same awe and delight as I do walking these hills—I live for that fleeting moment of connection when a landscape lifts you up and draws you in. I like to think of my paintings as windows into magical worlds, influenced by the real places I have wandered."

Katharine Konietzko is both a writer and artist. As a painter, she is inspired by luminosity, reflections, and shadows in the landscape. She is also drawn to faces, and has been commissioned for numerous portraits. After studying at Yale and completing a painting residency in Rome, she moved to Los Angeles, where she currently resides in the hills of Echo Park.

Her work is in permanent collections across the country, including in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Napa, Phoenix. and Portlant. Her paintings were recently showcased in St. Helena Living, a Napa Valley publication, and can be seen in an upcoming episode of Frasier on Paramount+.
