Katy O’Gorman Rhodebeck is a local artist and art educator. After receiving a BFA with a concentration in Education, she began a 41 year career as a visual art educator in the public school system where she developed a curriculum that provided lessons in a multitude of art forms and mediums. Additionally, Katy has taught private lessons as well as community education classes and workshops for adults.With her instruction and guidance, she strives to give her students a feeling of success while instilling confidence as they further develop their skills. Katy finds sharing her life long passion for creative expression while teaching and mentoring emerging artists to be extremely rewarding.  Now retired from her full time job, she has been spending more time making her own art, currently working primarily in painting and printmaking.

Katy began showing and selling her work in 2018 as part of New Hampshire Printmakers. As a group, they worked side by side in the printmaking studio at New Hampshire Institute of Art, motivating, inspiring and learning from each other. More recently, she has become an exhibiting member of New Hampshire Art Association and Two Villages Art Society and has shown her work in multiple regional galleries and shops.  The inspiration for much of Katy's work is that of special places she has shared with family and friends. She is always in search of more of nature’s beauty to capture.
