Katherine loved to paint, create and laugh.  She was a full-time professional artist who exhibited in fine art galleries and juried exhibitions for around 30 years.  She was influenced by a love of illustration, a visual story and a personal enjoyment of coastal areas where she spent most of her time.  She enjoyed painting and drawing in a joyful and romantic style from her inner eye and imagination rather than using any “reality-based” assistance such as photography or models.
