Kathy states "I live in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, having retired from my work life I have been able to get back to my love or art and painting has become my passion. I am mostly self taught but have taken many classes and workshops from other artists. My main focus has been on animals and wildlife. I see their strength and beauty and strive to show that in my paintings. We have several bird feeders and I watch and photograph the many birds that visit our back yard. They have become a source of my smaller paintings which I call my aviary series. Each animal tells me a story with their expression and I want to convey that to the viewer. The eyes are a connection to their soul. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my paintings, please contact me if you have any questions or might want to see other paintings.
