"My passion for painting is rooted in my garden.  I strive to translate my excitement about the experience of growth, light, and translucent colors from the earth to my canvas.  Nature has always spoken to me whether it is the rushing of a waterfall or the burst of new green in the Spring. I am awed by the beauty around me and I love to share my vision through my paintings."

Kathy Anderson began her formal training in commercial art but quickly found it too confining.  Experimenting with styles and mediums, she gravitated toward her garden and produced distinctive and sought after floral watercolors.  Circumstances found her casually involved in painting sets for small theater productions and working on such a large scale eventually led to a successful mural career.  She honed her mural skills through study with Janet Shearer in Cornwall, England.  Kathy finally made her way back to easel work and fell in love with the range of expression afforded by oils.  In 2001, she had the good fortune to meet Richard Schmid when he purchased one of her paintings.  The meeting resulted in her being invited to join the Putney Painters under Schmid's tutelage.  For the past ten years she has traveled to Vermont several times a month to paint with Schmid, Nancy Guzik, and her fellow Putney Painters, including Dennis Sheehan.

Since that time, her work has rapidly gained national recognition.  She is an Exhibiting Artist Member of the National Arts Club in New York City where she has had a painting selected for the permanent collection.  She is also an artist member of the Salmagundi Club. 

 

Kathy has been widely sought after as a guest artist in many national exhibitions including: 

Wendt Gallery - Winter Exhibition, 2009, Laguna Beach, CA

Argosy Gallery – Acadia Invitational, August 2010, Bar Harbor, ME

Telluride Plein Air – One of 30 artists, July 2010, Telluride, CO

Settlers West Miniature Show – February 2008-2010, Tucson, AZ

Women Artists of the West – One of 10 artists, 2007, Chicago, IL

 

Kathy's work has appeared in four issues of International Artist instructional texts and she has been a finalist in their contests four times.  She is featured in an article in the Dec/Jan 2007 issue of the magazine.

In addition to her studio work, Anderson is an avid plein air painter and has carried her easel from Maine to Guatemala.  She is one of 30 artists invited back to participate in the Telluride Plein Air Festival in Colorado for the fourth consecutive year.

“I view the world with a painter’s eye, finding paintings in all of my everyday experiences and travels.”
