About the Artist
Statement:
My recent paintings are about personal space. They are a window into those
intimate
moments that from the viewpoint of the observer can only be left to the
imagination.
Absorbed in moments of creation and reflection, the individuals exist for
themselves,
unaware that they are being watched. The subject of my work is not so much the
individuals that
I paint, but the dialog between themselves and their surroundings.
Biography:
Katy Unger was born in 1981 in Boulder, Colorado. She received her BFA from the
Pacific NW College of Art in Portland, Oregon in

representational use of acrylics to capture
the depth of light and skin.
