San Francisco Art Fair
Artfully Branded Curatorial will present the work of founder and artist, Katherine Filice along side Barbara Brenner at the San Francisco Art Fair in 2026 — the first time this collaborative pairing has been shown in the fair’s West Coast edition, following two years of well-received exhibitions at its Atlanta iteration. Filice’s forest-rooted, mixed-media abstractions and Brenner’s luminous photographs and paintings create a quietly immersive dialogue about connection, memory, and the natural world.

We are thrilled to announce that our founder, Katherine Filice, will be exhibiting this summer in Voices Beyond Boundaries: Bridges Built in Brushstrokes at the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona, California. On view May 1 through June 27, 2026, the group exhibition brings together fifteen contemporary artists whose work explores how creative expression moves across cultural, material, and conceptual boundaries — guiding viewers through themes of disruption, what endures through change, and a reflective vision of empowerment and purpose.

Future Fair
ABC x Startup | Future Fair 2026
Artfully Branded Curatorial and Startup Projects present ABC x Startup, a collaborative exhibition by founders Ray Beldner and Katherine Filice, debuting at Future Fair in May 2026 in New York City.
Bringing together two materially driven practices, the presentation explores how layered surfaces can accumulate memory, time, and traces of experience. Beldner’s work draws from fragments of visual culture and art history, while Filice’s work develops through materials gathered during her walks in the forest. Together, the works explore how materials transform through processes of accumulation and attention.

“The Nature of Things”
Katherine Filice has been walking in forests her whole life. Not as a hobby — as a practice. There's a Japanese concept for it, Shinrin-yoku, forest bathing, but Katherine was doing it long before she had a word for it. That time in the landscape shows up in her work. The Nature of Things is a collection of paintings and drawings that came out of years of that kind of looking — the slow kind, where you start to see how a root system and a river delta are really the same shape, how light moves through a canopy the way memory moves through the mind. The marks she makes are deliberate but never rigid. The layers build up the way sediment does. There's a stillness to the work that somehow also feels alive. It's not the kind of art that announces itself. It's the kind you have to spend time with — and when you do, you start to notice things about the natural world, and maybe about yourself, that were always there but easy to miss. That's really what this show is about. Not nature as backdrop or metaphor, but nature as something we're actually part of — tangled up in, whether we pay attention or not.
