Born and raised on a farm in NE Kansas, Kathy enjoyed fresh air, sunshine and the reward of hard work. She has been a mixed media artist since early childhood. Using an array of mediums, she was patiently taught many skills and techniques by two professional artists, her mother and aunt.

Much of her inspiration comes from the plants and animals of her home state and around the USA. Using vibrant colors, she passionately and creatively expresses her dreams and visions.

Highly pigmented quality oil paint is Kathy’s medium of choice. Occasionally, when beginning a new canvas, she uses a quick drying technique of acrylic paint for the background that seals the canvas surface. Using oil paint, she paints the foreground.

Kathy has found painting to be a magical experience, learning something new and wonderful every single day.
