I’ve always been fascinated with the surface of the ocean, and was planning a series of paintings to explore it. However the ocean’s surface is a very complex and difficult subject to capture, so I thought that I would understand it better if I spent some time drawing it. The first drawing hooked me. I loved the simplicity of the pencil combined with the complexity of the subject matter. The process is very meditative and I love getting lost in it. Will you ever make a series of paintings of the ocean’s surface? Yes, I’m working on a series right now. They are also the basis of my plastic ocean sculptures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1583782646014-RJ38HBK15SRMIXZ5I16R/KB+Young+Art FAQs - Places For Reflection Oil Paintings Why do you use metal leaf in your paintings? The ocean has always been a sacred place for me—a place I can think, reflect, breathe, and find peace and insight. Gold leaf has long been a symbol of the sacred, and is also a reflective surface. Using it underneath the paint allows me to allude to these reflective and spiritual qualities I find in nature, and contemplate what is really underneath it all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1583782826803-M7NNSL486LBM1QWAQKAZ/KB+Young+Art FAQs - Gold Leafed Plastic Why is trash gold leafed? Surprisingly, plastic trash and gold have some things in common. Both are shiny, malleable, durable and can last for centuries. Gold we value, yet plastic we throw away after seconds of use. It’s absurd that we discard all of this plastic so mindlessly, and it has become a huge problem for our oceans and wildlife. These 23 Kt gilded plastic artworks also serve as objects of reflection, mimicking sacred artifacts yet exposing the false idol of consumerism. The gold also alludes to the economic forces that sustain our dependence on plastic. Hopefully viewers of the art will never see a plastic bottle the same way again. See these artworks at the Triton Museum of Art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1583782469583-BRMUCIFYBT992CKKDHGO/KB+Young+Art FAQs - Plastic Oceans Artwork Why did you start working with plastic? My art has always been focused on the ocean. It is impossible these days to consider the ocean and not think about the plastic pollution problem. Personally I feel heartbroken every time I see a story about the devastation plastic is wreaking on our oceans. Plastic is found in every part of the ocean and it doesn’t go away. It breaks down into micro-plastics, which float, attract toxins, and are eaten by creatures great and small. Seabirds and marine mammals are dying with stomachs filled with plastic trash. The micro-plastics and their associated toxins are ingested by fish, and enter our human food supply. I wanted to do something to help solve this plastic crisis, and thought about ways that I could address it with my art. My intention is to create artworks that increase mindfulness about our plastic use, and inspire people to look at the challenge in a creative way. https://www.kbyoung.com/drawings daily 0.75 2020-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581373607427-U7NNL2X6O8EW1LUON3A9/Ascend-48x48.jpg Drawings Ascend 48"x 48" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374233272-MSOK0NM1MARV5KQVDJ10/Aspire-47x49.jpg Drawings ASPIRE 47" X 49" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374232151-AXSRPD8B7CN4WQD22O0M/Clearly-30x50.jpg Drawings CLEARLY 30" X 50" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374233204-AU1M3AQH2QUANTER4U9Z/Complexities-48x48.jpg Drawings COMPLEXITIES 48" X 48" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374234589-YUZ43X81SMNQQET8QIKA/Complexity-48x48.jpg Drawings COMPLEXITY 48" X 48" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374234456-HKGP5VCJA2ZRVJV54W75/Converging-42x48.jpg Drawings CONVERGING 42" X 48" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374250040-ID4U34YZHNT8WY6SYNG3/Diastole_17x17.jpg Drawings DIASTOLE 17" X 17" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374234859-WFY1WAUH6U5NOJ9YFPNC/Far+and+Away-38x38.jpg Drawings FAR AND AWAY 38" X 38" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374240239-J5C7HNU40BYAJ70VRZ17/Focused-23x23.jpg Drawings FOCUSED 23" X 23" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374236921-7FXFFO93XX7C689SFGO8/Harbour-40x59.jpg Drawings HARBOUR 40" X 59" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374235383-IPGEMQZ0HN7NYXLYG3YK/Immersion-60x90.jpg Drawings IMMERSION 60" X 90" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374238210-X95HCF4M4NS5BDOMDW5L/Mystery+II-38x50.jpg Drawings MYSTERY II 38" X 50" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374240422-29FJ64QF5AL2HSDKMHYM/Open+Ocean+I-16x16.jpg Drawings OPEN OCEAN I 16" X 16" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374237759-IBQBJ6UME07U76K9UYPK/Open+Ocean-9-36X48.jpg Drawings OPEN OCEAN 9 36" X 48 | SOLD" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374238677-RW9TG7011233RVOPDK9Y/Pacific-48x66.jpg Drawings PACIFIC 48" X 66" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374239829-C0SM27TGAG0ETL9BJMUI/Resonate-41x41.jpg Drawings RESONATE 41" X 41" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374240424-P95FYB8Z8ASEOBQNYSJM/Something+Bigger+Than+Myself-60x90.jpg Drawings SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF 60"X90" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374240494-UPJAQ3UA3YAEQIK4A8VN/State+of+Flow-58x47.jpg Drawings STATE OF FLOW 58" X 47" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374250094-RB0538KX3XFE5CUQKD7B/Tesselations-40X60.jpg Drawings TESSELATIONS 40" X 60" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374241319-K335XGDK123999BVMKCL/The+Infinite+Sea-60x90-web.jpg Drawings THE INFINITE SEA 60" X 90" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374241812-IHIQ6Z5N9G6DVZY3CZK0/Triplicate+12x36.jpg Drawings TRIPLICATE 12" X 36" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1581374242715-BNRO4GIEZGJO8SZ0NZ7V/Wavelengths-36x36.jpg Drawings WAVELENGTHS 36" X 36" | SOLD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1601484953889-0QU4OZMCARCKHA7U5R45/YoungTraversing.jpg Drawings TRAVERSING 36" X 36" | HANG ART https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1601485023381-PY7EGTS3PZQCUI7FHNHC/YoungWatersRising.jpg Drawings WATERS RISING 48" X 36" | DEYOUNG OPEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/55fc9a11-ad1f-4944-a520-234a265c34ea/Sea+of+Possibilities-60x90.jpg Drawings Sea of Possibilities 60" x 90" | SOLD https://www.kbyoung.com/about-the-artist daily 0.75 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1583783282891-I4K8SNV7JTW24K8KAAMJ/KB+Young+Art About The Artist - About The Artist Katherine B. Young, MD, MFA fell in love with the ocean when she was a small child. She spent a lot of time on the water before going to medical school to train in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After working for 10 years as a plastic surgeon in San Francisco, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a full time artist. She specializes in drawing and painting vast spaces of ocean and sky. Her work has won numerous awards and has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. She is currently creating an exhibition for the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA which addresses the ocean plastic pollution problem. The following galleries represent her artwork: HANG ART in San Francisco, Claire Carino Contemporary in Boston, and The Gallery at Tree’s Place in Cape Cod. She maintains a studio at 1890 Bryant Street in San Francisco, and lives in the city with her husband and daughter. Her artwork and creative process are featured in creativity expert Tina Seelig’s book, Insight Out. https://www.kbyoung.com/about-the-work daily 0.75 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41ad67f09cd1070c66d5ff/1583782678832-X8VDXV86QT8TXD9PEXUK/KB+Young+Art About The Work - Graphite Drawings Why did you start making graphite drawings of the ocean?
