The famous art critic, Arthur Danto, once wrote "There are two necessary criteria for something to be deemed 'a work of art' - it must have meaning and it must embody that meaning." This workshop embraces that philosophy and helps students at all ability levels to learn how to create unique and meaningful art. Kathy's successful method demonstrates how to escape the ordinary and paint the extraordinary.
Because all great paintings begin with a great concept, students first learn how to develop a concept for their own paintings by using an effective method developed by Kathy. The next step is to translate that concept into a working thesis, or artist's statement. Kathy then demonstrates how to use that thesis to create a series of paintings that is uniquely meaningful, technically consistent and masterful. Daily instruction is followed by student engagement in this think - write - paint - share workshop. By the week's end, students will have all the tools necessary to create unique and meaningful art for a life time.
Kathy teaches with warmth, humor, enthusiasm and insight. As an experienced teacher and award-winning artist, she is able to help students develop and improve technical skills in painting as well as concept development. This workshop provides painters in all media with the necessary tools required to create great art!
Kathy is an inducted member of the National Association of Women Artists, and a Signature Member of the North East Watercolor Society and the Missouri Watercolor Society. She received formal academic training in fine art at The Maryland Institute of Art, The College of Charleston, and Kutztown University. She has over thirty years of teaching experience, has won dozens of awards, and her work is included in nearly one hundred private and corporate collections. Kathy is listed in Who's Who Among Americas Teachers, Who's Who in America, and Who's Who of American Women.
