“I have always been enthralled by nature and this is what most of my art is influenced by. When I’m up north I always have my camera on me – I guess you could say that I stalk the local wildlife with my lens. Finding great backgrounds and wildlife for my paintings is always exciting.”

Kathleen’s goal is to be a well-known and accomplished wildlife artist someday.
