Artist

Through color, texture, and high touch surfaces, Kathleen’s work focuses on an abstract response to the human experience. She often uses classroom detritus in her mixed media work.

Kathleen’s lifelong interest in art, education and the creative process has nurtured three careers.  After graduation with a degree in marketing from San Diego State University, she worked as a corporate trainer and manager. In 1990, she translated corporate skills into an award- winning children’s art program, Fine Artists™.

Her professional art career began in 2007. She has exhibited throughout San Diego and Southern California, including solo shows in Liberty Station, Ray Street Arts District, Japanese Friendship Garden Museum, Sophie’s Gallery and Sparks Gallery in San Diego. She has juried into the Oceanside Museum of Art, Cannon Gallery, San Diego Art Institute and La Jolla Athenaeum.  Her work is held in personal collections throughout the United States, Singapore and Japan.
