About Me
Hi World!
I'm Kathleen
Painting alla prima or at the first is what thrills me most about painting. Capturing the essence of a scene on location in one quick and energetic session when possible is the idea but I often take those on location smaller paintings and develop them into larger ones in my studio. 
I use a combination of palette knife and vigorous brushwork with bold colors to express my translation of the scene. Being able to capture coastal scenes on both coasts and hope that it helps in some small way bring awareness to the need to preserve these spaces is something I feel passionate about.
My love for painting landscapes began as a young girl growing up in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, where I first started painting in the beautiful environment of northern New Mexico. Like many artists, I was moved by the spectacular vistas and colors that you see in nature on a daily basis when you live in the high desert areas of this state.Her paintings have been described as evoking a feeling of loneliness embraced by mysterious beauty. One collector remarked "If Edward Hopper and David Hockney had a baby, it would be you!"
I have studied with a variety of outstanding plein air artists and teachers: Deborah Paris, Kenn Backhaus, George Strickland, Ken Auster and Camille Prezwodek.
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with
