Katherine Sullivan teaches courses in painting, figure drawing and color, and originated the department鈥檚 capstone course for studio art majors. She also teaches first year seminars on art and activism. Her research interests include the body, post-colonial painting and interdisciplinary approaches to color and color theory.

Her most recent paintings incorporate aspects of Indian and Western painting and explore the boundaries between abstract and representational imagery, color and form, and direct and indirect painting technique. Her long-standing interest in art and theatre has fueled a series of large-scale paintings that explore the socio-political dimensions and contemporary relevance of Bertolt Brecht鈥檚 Mother Courage and Galileo. 

Katherine joined the Hope College faculty in 2003.
