Katherine Throne, Big Bloomers, 2020. Oil on canvas , 135cm x 110cm, framed. Courtesy: the artist and Sanderson Contemporary Art, Auckland.

Katherine Throne’s debut exhibition with Sanderson Contemporary Art, Joy Ride, places the viewer amongst the tangled sweet peas and blooming roses overhanging neighbourhood fences. Painted in thick oil, Throne’s flowers burst off the canvas unapologetically encroaching into the viewer’s space.

Throne holds a Master of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Art at Auckland University. She graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design in Michigan USA in 2014 with a BFA in Painting (Honors) and minor in Interior Design. Her interest in the flower began during her Masters research into the history of design.
