Kate Hooray Osmond is an interdisciplinary Artist based in Charleston, SC, whose vibrant and expressive paintings explore non-judgement and the impossibility of experience. Her current show and ongoing series titled “Americana” explores her evolving relationship with the shifting landscape of the United States. “I paint what I see, hear and feel: an experience that keeps and moves focus; all the while remembering my love for a place that holds me,” says Kate. “America is more beautiful, more terrifying and more vast than one person could ever resolve.”
