A woman wearing a large sun hat and a colorful dress is standing outdoors by a body of water, smiling at the camera. She is holding a painting of a castle or historic building that is displayed on an easel, with art supplies in a container nearby.

Kathryn has been painting for as long as she can remember. With classical training in the Old Masters’ techniques at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Laguna College of Art and Design, she immortalizes the stories of the people and places that connect us.
