About Katharine Schmidt
Katharine Schmidt is a retired professor of Fine Arts at Bethel University and Ivy Tech Community College who loves to teach students the basic skills they need to create their own realistic works of art.
“Katharine works in ceramic sculpture and mixed media using the human form, sometimes realistic, sometimes not, to explore the vague anxieties, confusion, and spiritual hunger that comes from living through rapidly changing times.” “Katharine has an M.F.A. in Painting and Art History from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville. She then moved to Seattle and studied at the Seattle Academy of Fine Art (now the Gage Academy) where she later became an instructor. After returning to Indiana, Katharine had a portrait business before teaching at Ivy Tech and then Bethel University where she recently retired. She has exhibited work regionally and nationally”
