Artist Statement

Our American culture is crazy. We are often busy, hurried, rushed, trying to get ahead and constantly bombarded with media and marketing selling us the goods we “need” to live the American Dream. In the midst of this frenzy, Art offers us something entirely different.Art returns us to a mood of wonder and appreciation for life and for living. Works of art help us stay centered in the push of our day-to-day lives.

Art reminds us of human virtues and the wonders of nature. Its beauty, richness and depth can inspire us to rise above mediocrity and take the time and care to live our lives artfully and with elegance.

My art inspires and reminds us that we can be awed by even the simplest things in life - allow your breath to be taken away by the beauty of a leaf, allow the intricacy of a flower to remind you of the awesome gift of life, be amazed by the shape of an acorn and the smoothness of its skin, be awed by the delicate, stunning work of art of a bird’s nest. We are surrounded by amazing wonders every day. My art reminds us to notice, appreciate and live in gratitude. My art reminds us that no matter what we do, let us live our lives artfully!

"I would have to give Kathy the highest of recommendation for any student of mine over the years. She is most talented in picking up techniques and applying them to her own particular vision. Her hard work, punctuality, and ability to get along with others are exemplary. Her work is technically tight and reflects her own personal vision."

"I was most impressed with her vision. She came up with ideas every day that challenged the limits of what the medium would do and then proceeded to do them. She is fearless and willing to accept failure as a price for achieving what she desires. Her successes impressed me deeply."
