Love Supreme
“Inspired by The Church of St John Coltrane in San Francisco, A Love Supreme is an invitation to the Taos community and beyond into a space dedicated to the transformative power of music as a vehicle to our primordial relationship to the Divine. The hosting gallery, OmniHum, reflects a resonant sentiment in its name meaning “universal vibration.” This show will engage the senses through visual art that works in coherence with sonic experiences brought forth by the local community as well as a compilation of songs inspired by Coltrane consciousness. This show was seeded during a sermon spoken by Father James Max Haqq that invited the church to remember that “the truth, as St. John Coltrane said, doesn’t have any name on it, but it has a vibration and a sound. Not a fixed vibration but one in an eternal flux of being and becoming.” A Love Supreme at OmniHum will provide a location for that vibration to be expressed in all of its variations.” - Caitlyn Cournale

Katie Wolf
Katie Wolf’s practice presents itself as a bridge allowing the Sacred to be sensed in our daily living. Her work explores the various aspects of living in a city surrounded by Nature. In addition, her art is informed by the influences of the many cultures that make up this port city.
Wolf’s work takes form through painting, silkscreen prints, sculpture, mosaic glass works, creation of chapel spaces and installations. She has made fabric designs for the vast and modern St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco to intimate sacred spaces, Byzantine icons and an Art and Nature Retreat Site in Northern California. An ancient and personal symbol system imbues her large-scale paintings, welded steel sculptures, stained glass panels, painted fabric scrolls and wearable art.
A 5th generation Californian and a native San Franciscan, Katie has explored the various aspects of living in a city embraced by Nature and has learned from the influences of the many cultures that make up this vibrant port city. She began creating from all things available to her; ranging from drawings and paintings to fabric arts and sculptural works. Her MFA was earned at the San Francisco Art Institute and she taught with Ruth Asawa during the Alvarado Art Workshop years of bringing professional artists into the San Francisco public schools. Katie has been fortunate to live an adult life filled with art commissions spanning over 40 years, as well as initiating and teaching a visual arts curriculum including studies in architecture, sculpture, painting and set design at St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco. After 25 years of “dressing the cathedral” of St. Mary of the Assumption and creating environments filled with stained glass imagery and painted murals, in all aspects of her work she continues to invite people to contemplate and express an inner prompt.”

"I am 76 and live in North Beach and as I walk the streets,
I am on the lookout for the next draw.
My passion is with my pen to capture the moment.
Drawing music and people around in the bay area since the late
80’s has been part of my daily life.
My drawings are my diary.
Walking down Grant Avenue I may
see a group of people that catch my eye like, out front of the
Caffe Trieste. I will get a latte and sit out to the side of my
subject and quietly capture the moment.
When drawing a band, I take the moment to hear the music
and dance while my hand goes to the paper and draws the
moment."
