Katherine Venturelli

Katherine Venturelli, a Northern California artist, creates limited edition artist books and intaglio and monotype prints. Her artwork depends upon the power of symbolic imagery.

Noted in publications and awarded for her prints and artists' books, Venturelli continues to exhibit nationally and internationally. Her artwork is represented in numerous private and permanent collections, including the Reva and David Logan Collection; Achenbach Collection for Graphic Arts at the S.F. Palace of the Legion of Honor; Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, N.M; Roswell Fine Art Museum, N.M.; Las Vegas Art Museum; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; Getty Museum Research Institute,L.A.; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minn.;.and the Special Collections of U.S.C., U.C.S.D., Mills College, and Univ. of Washington.
