Kathryn Allen Hurni’s interest in photography began at age 13 with an old Nikon F-3 35mm and an eye for photographing her family. She earned the reputation of provocateur by age 14, thanks to a series of nude self-portraits, and became the youngest person featured in a group show at James Madison University.
Hurni interned at the United Nations Photography Department and the Illy Pop Up Gallery in Soho while attending the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. In 2006, she graduated with a BFA in Photography and Imaging and a bachelor’s in English Literature.
Based in New York City, Hurni often returns to her hometown of North Wales, Pennsylvania, photographing landscapes and environments that capture classic Americana.

Emily Keating Snyder studied Art History and Studio Art at NYU. Her work includes painting, collage, and photography. She is fascinated by nostalgia and whimsy as an elicit yearning for something that exists only as an idea, a feeling, or a memory. She captures these fantasies in real life either with photographs taken spontaneously or works that come out of memories and old photographs.

ArtExtend is an online art gallery that sources, promotes, and sells original paintings from artists living in developing countries. ArtExtend aims to bridge the gap between talented artists in developing countries who lack the sales channels to sell their artwork and the international community in developed countries that seeks to purchase high quality original art at accessible prices. At the Think Gallery exhibition, ArtExtend will feature works from three talented artists: Alfred Kimani from Kenya, Hugo Ovalle from Peru, and Maketo from Mozambique. Please visit artextend.com for additional information on the company and to see the online gallery of our partner artists.
