Kitty moved to Australia over a twenty years ago from Chicago and ever since then the natural beauty, colours and experiences of the country have inspired her to create works of art that are interpretations of these elements.
Her style is abstract but contains representations of landscapes, sunsets, beaches and nature. Kitty is an emotional painter and once the painting is completed it takes on a life, beauty and story of its own and is open to a personal interpretation from the viewer. She endeavours to keep a mindful approach to painting – that the creative process is as important as the finished work.
Kitty paints with acrylics and adds charcoal, oil pastels and sometimes some textured medium like glass beads or sand. She uses water to manipulate the paint and create natural abstract formations.
Growing up in Rochester, New York and attending the University of Rochester, Kitty received a bachelor’s degree in art history. She was lucky enough to spend time in New York City where she interned at an art gallery in the East Village. During this time, she studied contemporary art and was exposed to many different artists and their NY studios. This was a huge influence on her passion for creativity, art and artists.
To get the creative juices flowing, Kitty likes to connect with people and places and get inspired by their stories and energy.
So, have a look and enjoy….
