Biography

Born in East Tennessee, educated in Pennsylvania & North Carolina, Katherine Cobb’s passion for all arts has been evident since childhood. Katherine still works part-time as an economist & land planner, after long experience as a corporate executive. She also owned Urban Way, a contemporary furnishings and art gallery in Bradenton, Fl. Semi-retirement suits her just fine.

Katherine started sketching in childhood, but didn't start doing acrylics until the 1990's, eventually adding watercolors, oil paintings and pastels. She has taken workshops and courses from a number of artists in oils, watercolors and pastels. For decades, Katherine also designed and created art in fabrics, with showings in galleries and museums for her contemporary textile artwork.

Education: MBA in management/ finance, The Wharton School; BA in economics/ management, NC State University. She moved from Sarasota, Fl. and now lives in Charlotte NC with her husband John Coulombe.
