Katherine Lock

Katherine Lock is a Des Moines-based artist whose paintings and drawings explore both the personal and the abstract through a mix of shapes, layers, textures and colors that come together to express a visual language that is uniquely her own. 

After graduating with honors from the University of Iowa with a degree in painting, Katherine relocated to New York City, where she held various leadership positions at the Guggenheim Museum and Gagosian gallery. In her more than 20 years living in NYC, Katherine was an active member of the city’s larger art community, and she had the honor of collaborating with countless artists, curators, designers, and studios.
