The Phenomenon of Line: Language as Imagery | Catherine Courtenaye | TEDxUMontana

How the shape and texture of written language-through visual ‘reading’-convey deeper meanings about the author such as gender, social standing, class and profession. Courtenaye explores how this phenomenon of line lies at the heart of visual expression, or art.
Catherine Courtenaye was born in Madrid, Spain and grew up around the world as the daughter of a diplomat. She earned an MFA in Painting from the University of Iowa, and lives in Bozeman, Montana. She has had numerous solo exhibitions nationally, and her work is included in the permanent collections of Boise Art Museum, Crocker Art Museum, Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and the Oakland Museum of California. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Award.
