Katie Ohe was born in 1937 near Peers, Alberta. She has studied art in Calgary, Montreal, New York City, and Verona, Italy, and has taught art at the Calgary Allied Arts Centre, the University of Calgary, Mount Royal College, and at the Alberta College of Art & Design. Her sculpture is inspired by the thoughts and emotions raised by everyday experiences, and the aesthetic experience of the pieces is one of communication, of sharing. Ohe has exhibited solo at the Glenbow Museum, ACAD, and the Nickle Museum, and has contributed to countless group exhibitions locally, nationally, and internationally. Her art is displayed in numerous public spaces throughout Calgary, and is held in many important corporate, private, and institutional collections. She has been awarded by the Y.W.C.A. of Calgary, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, and the Alberta College of Art and Design.
