Bio/Historical Note: Katie Ohe is a Canadian sculptor and one of the first artists to make abstract sculpture in Alberta. Born in 1937 in Peers, Alberta, she attended the Alberta College of Art (ACAD), the Montreal School of Art and Design, the Sculpture Centre in New York and Fonderia Fabris in Verona, Italy. In the 1960s Calgary, then a small city where the stand-alone sculpture was a minor practice, Ohe became a catalyst for the medium, first with small figurative sculptures in bronze and aluminum inspired by proto-feminist themes and later when she began experimenting with kinetic sculptures that entice viewers to touch and put in motion. Today Ohe is one of the most idiosyncratic metal sculptors of Canada and remains a pivotal and inspirational figure to generations of artists in Calgary. In the 1960s, together with Jean LaPointe Mihalcheon and Kay Angliss, Ohe was among the first artists to propose new alternatives beyond painting in Alberta and managed to draw attention to the growing number of women professionally active in the Calgary art community. Ohe taught at the Alberta College of Art and Design, firstly from 1960-1962, and from 1970 until her retirement from teaching in 2016.
