Doyle, oil & pastel artist, Newcastle
Katherine
Doyle was born in San Francisco and attended the University
of Louvain in Belgium, and received her BFA through studies

Simi in Florence, Italy. Doyle has exhibited throughout the
country and internationally including the Portland Museum
of Art in Maine, the Frye Museum in Seattle, Washington, the
Museum of Modern Art in Verona, Italy and the Museum of Modern
Art in Oostend, Belgium. Locally, she was a focal point in
the New England College's 2002 exhibition entitled "New
Hampshire Women, New Hampshire Landscape", and at the
New Hampshire Institute of Art as part of the 2001 exhibition
"Regional Choices". Additionally, her work is a
held by a number of public and private collections including,
the Arkansas Center for the Arts in Little Rock, Arkansas,
the Bank of New York, New York, New York, and Fidelity Investments
in Merrimack, New Hampshire. "I organize eachwork on
the basis that different characters in the painting reflect
different facets of the personality.
Inevitably,
a picture is as much a self-portrait as it is an exploration
of others," explains Doyle, "The images are an amalgam
of rational thought, imagination, and whisperings from the
unconscious. Other vital elements in the brew include fragments
from my models' lives and my relationships with them."
She concludes her artist statement with a quote from Joseph
Campbell, "It is the business of the artist to re-interpret
myth from [her] own time." For a closer look at Katherine
