Katherine Newbegin was born in Portland, Oregon in 1976 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She received her MFA in Photography from Hunter College in 2005 and her undergraduate degree in 1999 from Yale University where she studied English and Photography. During her studies she worked with Reiner Leist, Lois Conner, and Tod Papageorge. In Spring 2001, Katherine moved to New York City, where she has been living and working ever since. In 2008 she received a DAAD fellowship to live in Berlin, where she had been visiting and working off and on for years.
While living in Berlin, Revolver published a two-person catalogue of her work, which was edited by Sasa Hanten and includes essays by both Barbara Steffen and Sasa Hanten. Katherine has been showing her work at various galleries and institutions including: Dina4Projekte, Haas & Fischer, Galerie Open, Pinakothek der Moderne, Kunstverein Munich, and the Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. In December 2009, Katherine received an award from the Tiffany Foundation, which allowed her to travel to India where she photographed old Cinemas.
