| BIOGRAPHY Born in Allendale, MI 1959 Education 1996, MFA, Cum Laude, The New York Academy of Art 1981, BFA, Kendall School of Design, Grand Rapids, MI ARTIST?S STATEMENT Having lived in New York City for over a decade, my landscapes are of a very different topography. The pieces convey reverence for the earth, which manifests itself in sensual ways. These works play on the elemental values of sun, water and morning mist to capture the spirit of each environment. It has been observed that some of my paintings almost impart the aroma of earth. Each has an underlying sensual quality, which will emerge in some surprising manner to reveal the painting?s essence. This comes from my intimate relationship with the subject matter. In my paintings, I also explore the transformational qualities of light, using the subtle nuances found in refracted morning, afternoon or evening light to embody a particular moment in time. Perhaps these sensibilities are the result of having grown up on a farm in rural Michigan ? and a flower farm at that. While sensual, the landscapes are also somewhat political. They return the viewer to a seemingly lost time in which humans interrelated on more fundamental levels with nature. In addition, they speak to today?s need for increasing environmental awareness, as well as preserving that environment. I have been a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center and served as a visiting artist a number of workshops where I taught landscape painting. ABOUT Kathy's work has won praise from The New York Times and has been shown in museums and galleries throughout the country, including the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, the National Woman's Museum Archives in Washington, D.C. and the Long Island Museum. Kathy has been a resident artist at centers in Vermont and Virginia and her paintings are part of numerous private collections internationally. She also has the distinct honor of being part of Who's Who in American Art.
