Influenced by the dramatic tropical skies and coastal landscapes encountered on her travels, Kathy’s experimental mixed media and encaustic artworks radiate with shimmering, reflective layers. She enjoys working in a wide range of media and melding techniques on a variety of surfaces to create both 2D based work and 3D forms.
Over the years, her work has been accepted into numerous juried art exhibitions. Many of Kathy’s pieces have traveled the world, crossing many borders to become part of private collections and gallery shows.
While originally from California, Thailand has been her creative space since 1999. She worked for many years as a teacher of Art at the British International School, Phuket. Now retired, Kathy is fusing her time in Asia with the UK, along the beautiful, inspiring Isle of Wight coastline. She looks forward to this exciting new chapter in life affording her time to focus on creating new work and expanding her creative endeavors.
