Katherine Christie Wilson
Katherine Christie Wilson lived all of her life in Maine until moving to Placitas,
New Mexico, in 2009. She graduated from Colby College and later majored in
Painting at the Portland School of Art (now Maine College of Art). She received
her Masters Degree from the University of Maine. She began her art career
working in oils and watercolors, and during the 1980's created silkscreen prints,
posters and cards. In the 1990's she worked for BekArts, painting custom
designs on ceramic tile. Two workshops at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts
ignited an interest in painting on silk.
Katherine's paintings and serigraphs have been featured in many solo and group
shows and represented by galleries in Portland, Biddeford Pool, Brunswick,
Boothbay Harbor and Rockland Maine. Katherine's tile designs can be seen in fine
homes and business establishments from Philadelphia and New York to Maine.
Her silk scarves have been sold at the Maine Crafts Association, Penobscot
Marine Museum, and are currently carried by Sea of Cotton in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Katherine has recently written and illustrated a cookbook called Great Dinners on
a Shoestring: Easy, Delicious and Inexpensive Meals for All Seasons.
During her career in education, Katherine taught art, writing, and history. She
was also a guidance counselor for high school and college transition students.
When she retired from her job in the schools, Katherine and her husband David
(an architect) moved to New Mexico, where they had visited often over the past
twenty years. They are excited to be restoring and finishing a house that was
designed by David's previous architecture partner.
