Kate (b. 1979 Santa Fe, NM) was introduced to photography at age 13 when she learned to make Van Dyke prints from a pinhole camera for a 7th grade science project. She studied sociology and photojournalism at San Francisco State University; Spanish in Guatemala and Chile; and documentary photography at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.
She has exhibited her photographs in Santa Fe, North Carolina, Seattle, Chicago and South Africa. Her work is currently represented by Victoria Price Contemporary Art & Design in Santa Fe.
Throughout her developing career Kate has engaged with independent artists, thinkers and community activists. Kate was a recipient of a Lewis Hine Documentary Initiative Fellowship in 2003.
"Whether I am photographing residents of an informal settlement in South Africa; the geometry of a short-order cook; or architecture that assumes monumentality amid the march of humanity, I often think about Henri Cartier Bresson's observation that the world is movement and you cannot be stationary in your attitude toward something that is moving."
