Katherine Wood
Artist Katherine Wood (born 01-10-75) has a bachelor degree in Fine Arts from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. During school she travelled and studied in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1999, as well as Melbourne Australia in 2000. Wood has been a professional artist for over twelve years.
She has owned her own Signature Gallery since 2004 in South Africa and now spends time between her home in Queensland, Australia and Knysna, South Africa.
Wood has had numerous group and solo exhibitions including London, Dubai, New York, Sydney, Brisbane, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban (to name a few). She has also been invited to exhibit at 2008 Beijing Olympics, and gained Art International's Artist of the month in November, 2008.
Returning to South Africa in 2001, Wood got married to husband Duncan, in 2002. She then opened an art gallery called 'Klarity' in Observatory, Cape Town in 2002, where she managed and promoted young, promising artists. Katherine curated a show with over 100 artists throughout the streets of Observatory in 2003. After starting to paint again in 2002 and showing her own work in her 'Klarity' gallery, Katherine soon realized her work was in demand. She then sold her gallery to concentrate on producing more works and supplying agents throughout South Africa.
In 2004, after numerous successful solo and group shows, Katherine and her husband decided to move to the coastal town of Knysna and open her signature gallery, Katherine Wood Fine Art. Duncan became her full time manager, running and promoting Katherine's work both in her gallery, and through agencies worldwide. The gallery still runs today, however in 2012, Katherine and Duncan decided to move to Noosa Heads in Queensland, Australia for Katherine to service her growing market in Australia. She now spends time between both Australia and South Africa servicing her agents worldwide as well as her busy signature gallery in South Africa.
Katherine's work forms part of private and corporate collections in all corners of the world.
