ARTIST’S STATEMENT

“For the last several years my work has been evolving as an increasingly intimate metaphor, a changing self.”

PROFILE

Kathy was born in Glendale, California in 1950. She received her A.A. degree in Art history from Santa Rosa Community College, then her B.A. in Art History from Sonoma State University and another B.A. in Art Studio (mixed media). She continued independent studies in printmaking. For fourteen years she has been a printmaker. Her prints are pulled off an intaglio press using the same essential techniques used for centuries. Her intaglio techniques are drypoint, aquatint, as well as elements of collography, relief, lithography, and chine collé, alone or in combination, to create mostly monoprints or very small editions. Presently Kathy is exploring new non-toxic methods as well, enjoying the use of new materials such as polyester paper lithography. Her paintings explore the richness and depth of poetry, which inspires her to new ways of thinking. She often incorporates printing as well as having photos, and other objects embedded within the paintings.

She is an actively exhibiting artist and independent curator, working both nationally and internationally. She has worked and shown throughout the United States and in Japan, Cuba, Philippines, Poland, and Mexico. Her work is featured in private and corporate collections, most notably in the Albright/Knox Museum in Buffalo, New York; Baltimore Museum of Art; Chicago Art Institute; Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C.; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Whitney Museum of Art; National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; and the Laguna Beach Museum of Art.
