Katherine Toukhy is an artist and creative facilitator who has resided in Brooklyn (unceded Lenapehoking) for over a decade and grew up part of a small Coptic Egyptian diaspora in Rhode Island. In the studio, she draws upon movement, plant life, and her intersectional reality to transform figurative shapes into mixed media for public and private installations. She has worked with support from The Foundation for Contemporary Arts, BRIC, The Laundromat Project, The Rema Hort Mann Foundation, City Artist Corps, and Brooklyn Arts Council, among others. Most recently she was an artist in residence at The Arab American National Museum where her paper pulp relief, “Black Brown Earth Riot and Golden” was acquired as part of the collection. In 2024 she is studying to become a meditation instructor and to deepen her offerings connecting art, embodied healing, and social change.
