Biography
A native of Los Angeles, Kathryn initially studied at UCLA. In 1972 she moved
to La Grange, Texas and completed her BFA in Art Education at the University
of Texas at Austin in 1976. In 2006, she took her masters of art education with
specialization in museum studies at the University of Houston.
In her studio training, she concentrated on drawing and painting, which were
(and remain) her two greatest passions and strengths; but she also retains
interests in printmaking, photography, and watercolor. She was taught
advanced drawing by R.B. Kitaj at UCLA in the early '70s. And while studying
at the University of Texas in the mid-70s, she worked with both Michael Frary in
watercolor and Garry Winogrand in photography.
As a studio artist Kathryn has been active since the mid-70s and has
participated in many competitions, gallery exhibitions, and shows including the
Sakowitz-sponsored "Best of Texas", Art 87 & 88, the La Cienega Group Show,
Galleria Too, Beverly Hills Art League, and the Round Top Festival.
