Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art presents this online catalog of our represented artist Kathy Liao.
Kathy Liao (she/her) sees herself as a connector and bridge builder. Her practice as facilitator and arts administrator is to listen deeply, to remove barriers, to trust artists and cultural bearers in their knowledge and lived experiences, and support them with the tools, and resources, and peer network to thrive. As a Taiwanese American artist, Liao looks for patterns and repetitions that weave through the immigrant families’ experience in her mixed-media work.
She is the recipient of various awards, including the 2024 Joan Mitchell Foundation, the 2022 21c KC Artadia Award, 2020 Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Artist Award, and a public art commission for the new Kansas City International Airport.
