Who

Katherine McDaniel

Founder and Director of Synkroniciti,

is a classically trained opera singer who has appeared onstage at Houston Grand Opera. In 2012, Katherine had three poems commissioned by Houston Grand Opera for Houston Artists Respond, part of the Home and Place Initiative of HGOco. Nubia’s Shoes, Yo soy un Corazòn and Drumming were inspired by videos of senior adults at Baker Ripley Community Center in Houston. The poems tell the stories of Latin American women who immigrated to the United States. She later produced the video poems Mirage and Alouette, the Femmebot. She has been published in Gleam: Journal of the Cadralor.

Katherine is thrilled to edit Synkroniciti Magazine, which publishes a wide swathe of work across the performing, literary and visual arts spectrum arranged around a theme. Her serial novel, Beloved’s Journey, appears in the back of each issue. She also paints and creates multi-media works, as well as photography. Since the pandemic slowed down, she has been in demand for her faerie garden, flower tiara and wreath-making playdates, which are designed to inspire and exercise creativity.

Katherine is committed to bringing out the creative side of the performing arts and creating partnerships and collaborations between different types of artists in order to explore and enhance our modern world.
