EAST OF THE SUN...WEST OF THE MOON

Katrina Vanderlips Watercolour Exhibition opens on
Wednesday, April 15 from 6pm9pm
Katrina loved to draw and paint as a child growing
up in California, Switzerland and Paris, but after her
first year at Cornell University where she was majoring in painting, she read a statistic that said 99 % of
the painters could not earn a living in their profession. During this period she was fortunate to discover art conservation so she pursued her education in this field at Harvard University on a three
year grant from the National Endowments for the
Arts.

A new watercolour Exhibition featuring the

work of winter resident, Katrina Vanderlip, entitled East of the SunWest of the Moon will
open at Doongalik on Wednesday, April 15
from 6-9pm.
Katrina first starting coming to The Bahamas
eight years ago and has fallen completely under its spell. She has set out to discover and
the study The Bahamas through her painting
by visiting the Family Islands of Inagua,
Eleuthera, Exuma and Long Island to capture
their unique beauty as well as capturing the
sounds, colors and characters of Junkanoo in
images that she has produced with passion for
this Exhibition.
Trained at Harvards Fogg Art Museum, Vanderlip is both an artist and an art conservator
who has worked for private collectors and museum, including the Louvre, The National Gallery, The Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The
Los Angeles County Museum of Art and The
Getty Museum.

In 2009 Katrina rediscovered the pleasure of painting through illustrating a childrens book and has
been painting full time since then. Katrina has had
two solos shows in California and participated in
three shows in The
Bahamas.
She has one painting
in the National Art
Gallery of the Bahamas and has sold
paintings to clients
throughout the United
S t at es,
E ng l an d,
France, Canada and
The Bahamas.
The Exhibition will be
on display Monday to
