           KATHRYN'S ART And
              PET   PORTRAITS


I have been using pastel since 2003 and have currently taken colored pencil back up. I am enjoying using both the mediums in new ways. I am a member and former treasurer of the Community Artists of Westerville and served as its president in winter of 2007-2008. I am also the past secretary of OPAL, (The Ohio Pastel Artists League), and am a member of the Arts Council of Westerville. You may have seen my artwork at Gallery 202 in Westerville, Serindip Gallery in Powell, The Butler Art Institute in Youngstown Ohio, and other regional galleries. I have been in shows and festivals in Westerville , Worthington, at The Ohio State University, and at the Ohio State Fair

Kathryn's  drawings capture the spirit of whatever she is portraying- weather it be bird, or chimpanzee, or flower. Her use of color and form carry the presence onto the page and into your heart.

Kathy is an excellent artist. She has done a portrait of our very special dog that hangs in our hallway. She has also done several pictures of animals that we have enjoyed. She is very committed to doing her best when she draws people's animals. Having seen most of her work I have to say that she is a very talented and professional artist.

He was so happy with that picture. Thanks so much for the time you put into it. He said too, it was like he could reach out and pet him. The attention to detail on Alex was wonderful. He appreciated the little Tufts of Fur that came out of his paws, and of course the little beauty marks on his face.
