On behalf of the citizens and Government of Manitoba, it is with great pleasure that
I include greetings in the 2009-2010 edition of Uniquely Manitoba.

tremendous talents are showcased beautifully in Uniquely Manitoba. With over 200

Manitobans the opportunity to learn about and enjoy a multitude of local creations.
In addition to providing this talented community an occasion to share their skills,
Uniquely Manitoba goes further by assisting Manitoba’s artists and artisans with creating
business connections all over the province. Galleries, retailers, entrepreneurs, and patrons
alike will be impressed by the quality of work on display in the pages of this catalogue.
I would like to thank all those involved in the creation of Uniquely Manitoba. Once

Working with acrylics and mixed media
Katharine's method is largely intuitive - the
emphasis on process. Using nature as her
guiding light she strives to remove conscious
intention. Building a composition by following the
unpredictable dynamics of colour, space, gesture
- this allows her to move easily from expressionist
landscapes/cityscapes to total abstraction.

charming country lanes, take a trip inland to Stonewall.
