About This Work
In *Bernhardt Chroma*, Katherine orchestrates a poised encounter between structure and saturation, using color as both subject and atmosphere. The composition suggests an architectural clarity—clean divisions, calibrated intervals—yet it remains emotionally charged through luminous, layered hues that appear to vibrate against one another.

The work’s title nods to design history while reaffirming a contemporary painterly intelligence: a meditation on how modern life is coded through color, rhythm, and refined restraint.
