About

Katherine Dean is a visual artist based out of Indiana. Her work exist at the merger of traditional and contemporary photography. By exploring modern ideas and imagery with historic and/or manipulated traditional processes, Dean addresses the ideas of time, memory, and space.

Dean is a Continuing Lecturer of Photography at Purdue University. She earned a MFA (2017) in photography from Memphis College of Art and also holds a BFA (2014) in photography from the University of North Florida. An abrupt transition from one landscape to the other has greatly influenced the manner in which Dean approaches the creative process. Additionally, Dean has spent the last five years working with a small group of artists at Young Blood Studio in Memphis, TN, creating large scale public sculptures. Her work has been exhibited extensively at the nation level.

Currently Dean lives in Lafayette, IN, where she is working on a new body of work exploring the dissolution of memory and time.
