Kate Meissner
New Paintings

March 6 - April 4, 2026

These works are an exploration of the human body’s elasticity and capacity to metamorphose. Informed by my own experience of pregnancy and the birth of my first child last year, these paintings are a meditation on physiological transformation and the body’s underlying animalistic and mammalian nature.  - Kate Meissner
