About the Artist

Kathy has loved making art since childhood. In New York City she attended the High School of Music and Art and went on to art school to get a BFA at The Cooper Union in New York City, followed by a wonderful year of graduate school studying art at Villa Schifanoia in Florence, Italy, majoring in painting, earning an MA degree.

She taught Fine Arts for 31 years in public elementary schools in New York State and in Massachusetts. Bringing out the creativity of her students was a very rewarding career.

Since her retirement from teaching in 2008, she has been indulging her life-long passion to paint. In her paintings she hopes to capture on a two dimensional surface the excitement of three dimensional places and things, to catch the play of light and the mood of the scene. Painting is her joy, her therapy, and her passion.

She exhibits her paintings at the North Shore Arts Association in Gloucester, MA where she is a juried member, and at the Rockport Art Association where she is an associate member. She also exhibits with the Reading Art Association. She is a member of Boston North Artists, and the Newton Watercolor Society.
