A landscape painter, Kathy has a Master's degree in Architecture from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. She was awarded a 2009 - 2010 Pollock - Krasner Foundation grant in support of her Everglades Project - A Landscape in Flux - a compelling series of paintings based on her experiences with the Artist in Residence in the Everglades Program. Her Current project - Mammouth - an exploration of Mammouth Cave National Park, was funded through USA Projects, an online initiative of United States Artists.

She says, "I have taken a great interest in our National Park System. They are a memory of the country's vastness, a record of its history and the closest we have left to unspoiled wilderness. While highly motivated by issues of preservation and the revelance of our National Parks, artistically, the work centers on qualities of a more intangible sort. In the Everglades work, for example, one encounters the seemingly infinite vastness of the prairie along with the wash of light, breeze, heat....while in the Mammouth Cave one is confronted by the absence of light, claustrophobia, void, and the weight of the Earth above."
