Kate Fallucca is a midlands girl with a countrywide interest. It was only by chance that Kate came to our attention... friends in Springfield and a casual drive-by while out and about. What Kate brings to the gallery is a well trained eye for landscapes, intriguing designs, and cultural symbolism.  

Here's Kate's description of her journey to this stage in her career...

   "My original aspirations came from growing up with a friend whose parents owned a gallery in Old Town, Chicago.  I had always seen - or certainly, felt - that I was a creative person... I loved to draw, paint, and write about my surroundings. I was especially drawn to architectural design, so much so that I studied commercial art and advertising, art history, and art and drawing techniques while in college."

   "My fascination with Native American culture and an internal need to expand my artistic skill lead to a move to Northwestern New Mexico where I would be able to immerse myself in the culture and natural beauty of the Southwest. What I didn't expect was my transformation from graphic artist to landscape photographer. This felt like my true calling and in 2006 I established KT Designs and began building my portfolio."

   "New Mexico - its culture and its beauty - provided me with an opportunity grow and appreciate the lands and people of the Southwest. I found myself a student of my environment, from the lands and the many people who mentor and assisted in my growth.  But, as things would be, an opportunity came up in Chicago that I felt I couldn't  allow to pass by... I move back to the Chicago area late in 2006."

   " The move took me to the Kenosha area where I entered college, while simultaneously re-tooling the business I started in New Mexico. One of my primary goals was to get gallery exposure of my work. My work seems to sell itself as I was given opportunity after opportunity to display my current collection in galleries, stores and businesses. It was during this time - 2007 and 2008 - that I began an expansion of my portfolio to include the neighboring states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky."

   "I have always loved writing, and it was at this same time that several opportunities emerged which allowed me to write about art and art-related events and activities.  Currently, I write for the art-based website Expose Kenosha which can be found at www.exposekenosha.com. Many of my articles have appeared in local magazines, newspapers and on-line documentation."

   Kate is contemplating a move to Springfield and has already begun a portfolio of the places and people that  make this area special.  I am sure she would appreciation any suggestions that are viewers would like to make regarding great places with photographic appeal. 

   As with all our art, Kate's works can be purchased through the Steele Pointe Gallery in a variation of sizes up to and including 22' by 28'.  The two dimensions that we recommend and offer within out price list at the bottom of the page are the 8" by 10" image matted to a standard 11" by 14" and a 11" by 14" image matted to 16" by 20".

"Adobe House" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Adobe House"
sepia photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... I chose this particular image from Kate's portfolio because I am especially fond of brassy sepia tones, which, in many ways, is so fitting for this image of a Southwestern adobe home. Note the enhancement and fulfillment of the image a the very interesting, full horizon cloud array background.  There are several very appropriate frames for this image which would greatly enhance the overall presentation.


"Bean at the Bottom" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Bean at the Bottom"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... Quite possibly it was too many years in front of the sci-fi movie screen that drew me to this image... the remembrance of the seamless spacecraft on whose  surface we could see the reflection of our human fears. The shapes and the wavering lines of the building join together to create an appealing combination of contrasts.


"District No. 6" by Kate Fallucca

 

"District No. 6"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... my rural upbringing drew me to this image as I am sure that many of you will have like memories... of the small township and Grange Halls dotting the rural landscape. This image is a nice combination of lighting, shadows, contrasting colors and shapes.


"Burlington Farm" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Burlington Farm"
black and white photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... black and white photography has a special purpose and this is a good example of that purpose. If we believe that the image is worth a thousand words than the black and white is the ideal medium for doing that, without the distracts created by color.  There's a story in this farm, a little Andrew Wyeth, a great deal of rural culture and a great deal more regarding the chronology of this farm's development.


"Up the Down Staircase" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Up the Down Staircase"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... besides the spiraling design, what attracted me most to this image was the combination of pastel colors in the staircase.  My only regret regarding the image is the rectangular boundaries imposed on the image by the camera.


"The Barn Door" by Kate Fallucca

 

"The Barn Door"
black and white photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... again, the story told by this image is greatly amplified by the absence of color distractions. As strange as it sometimes seems, decay seems to come much more rapidly with the absence of human life within. Regardless of the attempt, the bed springs hampering entrance to this structure have not slowed the deterioration.  


"Chicago River Sunrise" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Chicago River Sunrise"
black and white photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... in contrast to the image just above, the absence of human movement adds considerably to the message of a new sunrise. The serenity of the water, the absence pf rippling around the boats, and the soft morning glow embracing the structures make this image especially appealing. This would be especially great in large format with a single layer of off-white matting and a simple black metal frame.


"McHargue Mill" by Kate Fallucca

 

"McHargue Mill"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... the simple, small early American mill nestled alongside a gentle, but sufficient, stream makes this image appealing.


"View from the Mesa Verde Longhouse"
by Kate Fallucca
 

"View from the Mesa Verde Longhouse"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... having a very small Lakota heritage, but sharing a larger early Native American philosophy, makes images such as this especially appealing.  Just as with the civilization that lived at Machu Picchu, one has to wonder what changed that caused ancient peoples to abandon these communities and what happened to the people and the innovations and order these civilizations brought about.


"Pierhead Lighthouse and a Bird"
by Kate Fallucca
 

"Pierhead Lighthouse and a Bird"
black and white photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... this image appeals to me for simple reasons... its simplicity and the bringing together of an appealing mixture of objects and conditions.  I don't know if there is a story associated with this black and white, it is just an appeal.


"Rudy at the Fountain" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Rudy at the Fountain"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... okay, this might not appeal to all... but, if you are like fun pet images, this has its place.  I have two cats and two dogs and I am always amused by their actions and lack of inhabitations.


"Snyder Park Winter" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Snyder Park Winter"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... most likely this is going to have a greater Springfield, Ohio appeal than it may have elsewhere.  Snyder Park is a central feature on the city and there are few who have never seen this bridge. 


"Animas River Morning" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Animas River Morning"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... I found this image to be a great balance of depth, color and movement. The meandering of the river through the islands and the rippling of the waters gave me a lot to enjoy.


"Two Kivas Ruins" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Two Kivas Ruins"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... this image is nicely filled with great color, especially fine lighting and very good contrast. The chambers, the walls and the walkways are teasers for the imagination.


"Another Great Day" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Another Great Day"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... this is the first piece that I have selected from Kate's portfolio which shows a different side to her photography.  I'm a Spring and Fall guy and these Hyacinths mixed with a peek at other emerging plants in the background was sweet.


"Big Yellow Against Blue Skies" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Big Yellow Against Blue Skies"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... if you're drawn to this image as I've been, think about ordering this one in a large format.


"Bright Red Swing Set" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Bright Red Swing Set"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*General note... simple, very nice mix of the bright red nestled amidst the dark leafless trunks of the trees and a bed of undisturbed snow.


"Chicago River Sunrise" (color) by Kate Fallucca


 

"Chicago River Sunrise" (color)
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... this is the colored version of the B/W edition above.  I added this to the gallery because I liked the warmth of the bronzes, pewter and silver tones,\.


"Colorado Rainbow" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Colorado Rainbow"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... simply a great mix of colors, shadows and symbolisms.


"Four Balloons Over Farmington" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Four Balloons Over Farmington"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... I added this piece to the gallery because I am especially fond of hot air balloons and this reminded me of a fox and hound balloon chase.


"Four Pumpkins Hiding" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Four Pumpkins Hiding"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... a great reminder of Fall and Charlie Brown... and, this image was added only three days before Halloween... what else needs to be said !


"Heavenly Portal"

 

"Heavenly Portal"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... almost unreal !


"Green Side Up" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Green Side Up"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note...  the moss colony, the green diagonal line, the uniformity of surrounding colors... just personally appealing.


"Salmon Ruins" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Salmon Ruins"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... another great look at an early Native American community.


"Dwelling At Frances Mesa" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Dwelling at Frances Mesa"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... more Southwestern Native American heritage.


"Red and Yellow Alike" by Kate Fallucca

 

"Red and Yellow Alike"
color photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... this is another great splash of color. Like the one above, order this one in a large format.


"West Bank Winter" by Kate Fallucca

 

"West Bank Winter"
black and white photographic print
available in 2 image/mat dimensions
priced as shown below

*Gallery note... I still drawn to black and white and this piece - shot in literally an environment of black white - is an excellent example of what black and white photography should be about... an absence of distractive color in the story line.
