Kath Kornelsen Rutherford

Kath Kornelsen works in a quiet way. She fashions delicate explorations of objects which are meaningful to her into compositions which are sometimes playful, sometimes reflective, always gentle. Working in a variety of printmaking techniques, she demonstrates a disciplined approach to her art and an ever challenging demand on her development as an artist.

Born in Montreal, she studied printmaking at Mount Allison University for three years with David Silverberg before moving to Halifax to study with Ed Porter at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in the early 1980’s.

She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout Central and Eastern Canada in both private and public galleries. She has, on two occasions been awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Award. Her works are included in collections such as the Nova Scotia Art Bank, Canada Council Art Bank, Grenfell College in Newfoundland, Atlantic Trust Co., The Hudson’s Bay Co., and Husky Oil Operations.
