I’m Katherine Phifer. I am an artist, writer, and observer of beauty, mood and the interior lives we rarely name out loud.

​

My work moves through painting, photography, writing, and recorded conversation, each piece exploring the tension between who we are expected to be and who we become when we finally claim our own gaze.

 

I’m drawn to atmosphere, to story, and to the quiet, often unseen moments where identity shifts and something more honest emerges.

​

I create from instinct, memory, and a lifelong fascination with women, aesthetics, and the emotional landscapes we inhabit.

 

My work is not instructional or prescriptive. My art is expressive, reflective, and rooted in the belief that art is one of the few places where we are allowed to be fully contradictory, fully human, and fully seen.

​

This site is a living collection of that work as it unfolds.
