About the Artist
Kate Petley has been a full-time artist since 1987, and she currently resides in rural southwestern Colorado. Petley has received several awards and grants for her work and large-scale public commissions. In 2001, the City of Houston commissioned Petley to create an installation at the Bush Intercontinental Airport. Titled Air Drops, the piece utilizes light and color. Kate uses a variety of materials to create her art, but likes to emphasize making light into a solid object. Her work, showcased in Colorado, Texas, New York, and other venues around the country, has been reviewed in numerous publications. Petley taught workshops for children at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, CO. She enjoys working with the students and would like to give students in her Learning Labs an opportunity to expand their creativity and allow for open experimentation.
