Greetings!

Thanks for visiting my portfolio site. This is a site dedicated to chronicling my work – artistically, scholastically and otherwise.

First, a little about me. I have just graduated with an Honors Bachelor of Fine Arts, and am currently working on a Master of Public Administration degree at the University of Western Ontario. Although visual art and political science may see to be an odd combination, there are remarkable similarities in terms of the analytical processes used in both disciplines. I am studying public administration at the local level, am interested in housing policy and urban planning, and hope to one day wind up working as a city administrator.

Lewis Mumford once described the city as “a theatre of social action.” Mumford understood the city as the framework for human experience, and believed that city planners had a responsibility to ensure that the physical environment would cultivate social development. He claimed that the character of a city has a tremendous impact on the character of the citizens. I love this idea. I think that this concept underlines my interest in cities.

I love cities and I love art. I am interested in politics and people, and how they intersect. I am tying to explore and learn as much as I can about all of these things. This site shows some of my work. It will grow as time progresses, and I will continue to post my work as it develops.

Thanks for your interest, and for visiting my site. I hope to see you back
soon.

Take care,

Kate
