Owner and Director

​Katherine Stanek was born in Oak Park, Illinois, and lived in the Chicago area until her early twenties. Pursuing work and education, Stanek relocated to Philadelphia where she held a full-time corporate management position while attending classes part-time at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 2002, Katherine resigned from her management position and began her career in art at The Pennsylvania Academy receiving a 4-year merit scholarship for her studies.
Immediately upon graduation, Stanek was invited by notable Philadelphia galleries to exhibit her work and accepted The Rosenfeld Gallery's invitation to represent her body of work. She has since exhibited widely in numerous galleries, museums, and sculpture gardens which include The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the European Museum of Modern Art MEAM, Barcelona, and most notable, alongside the work of Auguste Rodin in the international exhibition "Rodin and the Contemporary Figurative Tradition" at the Frederick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Katherine is the recipient of the George and Helen Segal Foundation Grant and her work has been featured in several publications including The National Sculpture Society's "Sculpture Review". In 2020, Stanek installed her largest commission to date for the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio.
​
In 2014 The Rosenfeld Gallery announced their intent to close following a series of gallery closings throughout the city. With dwindling options remaining for a figurative sculptor in Philadelphia, Katherine opened Stanek Gallery in Old City with the intent of shifting the trend. Since its opening in November 2015, Stanek Gallery has quickly become the leading art gallery in Philadelphia attracting some of the area's most accomplished artists. Stanek Gallery's museum-style exhibition program and innovative events designed to return patrons to the galleries have fostered partnerships with curators from The Barnes Foundation, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and scholars from across the country.
