About the Artist
Kathie has been a plein-air painter for more then 20 years, and her work can be found in private collections around the country. During her younger years, she earned a highly irrelevant degree in Accounting from Cal State Northridge, but these days, she is finding inspiration from the dramatic sweep and changing colors of the clouds, as well as well as the clear sounds of wind and silence to be heard in the deserts of southern New Mexico.
The work featured in this show is done in pastel, transparent watercolor, and on silk; her show will also feature some wearable art inspired by the landscapes of the desert Southwest. A portion of the proceeds from her show will be donated to the House of Hope, a non-profit men's recovery house in Alamogordo.
