She
feels fortunate to have been mentored by the late Joseph Wallace
King, the famous portrait
artist, better known abroad as, “Vinciata.” King
was a tough critic and few artists could take his blunt advice.
She enjoyed him because he was to the point. She also loved his
quick wit. He taught her until his death January 15, 1996. King
was best know for his painting of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1972
and his portraits of other dignitaries.
Kathryn is influenced by the great Impressionists and has followed their
style and technique in her work. Her favorite medium is soft pastel;
although she enjoys exploring and painting in a wide variety of mediums.
She paints many different subjects and often lets the subject dictate
her choice of medium.
She
believes that, “Artist’s should capture scenes
that hold special meaning in some way to both the artist and
the viewer.” Kathryn is best know for her tropical florals
and scenes of the Hawaiian Islands. Her work can now be seen
on the Internet and at Olde Towne Art, Portsmouth, Virginia.
