These are unprecedented times and artists are finding strength in community and creativity. In this account, we hear from Katharina Rooney. She has been an art teacher at Keene State college since 1997, teaching Ceramics, Drawing and Design Foundations. She studied art and design at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and ceramics at the Academy for Applied Arts in Vienna, completing graduate studies at the University of Illinois. Her ceramics, sculptures and installations have been shown nationally and internationally and are in private collections and galleries. We first met her a few years ago, when she was selected for a Ewing Arts Award!
We’re proud to share this story of Katharina Rooney, in her own words.
