Meet Kathy.... 

• I started painting as a young child

• My favourite thing to paint is Canadian landscapes

• I paint primarily with oils... 

• The thing I find most interesting about painting, is how a 3-dimensional subject can be portrayed with depth on a 2-dimentional surface​

• Growing up on a dairy farm has instilled me with a healthy amount of grit

• I have a full-time day job as a dietitian

• I spend my evenings and weekends painting and working on my art business

Learn why I had to pursue a career as a dietitian to figure out I wanted to be an artist:
