Originial pencil/graphite drawing 'fantasies' and limited edition Giclee' prints drawingfantasiesbykathy@hotmail.com

Drawing is my PASSION!  A God given talent discovered at an early age and nurtured in my teen years and in the 70's and early 80's entering the competitive ring.   After embarking on motherhood, I retired my skills to raise my two children and address life's challenges.  Only after a 21 year leave did I again pick up my pencils and embark on the creative journey again.  Entering the art world some years later, I realized that life experiences had made my emotions deeper and stronger and in my black/white and shades of grey, there is a powerful and strong expression that grows from the paper and boldly makes it's statement.  Predominantly drawing in black/white and grey I master many techniques that bring the paper to life.  Sometimes I experiment a bit by adding a touch of color but not often.  Many times my drawings are bold, wicked and striking to passers by.  

Come visit me at the ... SOULARD ART MARKET CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY!!

I am a member of local art organizations including THE FOUNDRY ART CENTER, ST. LOUIS ARTISTS' GUILD, ART ST. LOUIS, GATEWAY EAST ARTIST GUILD, JACOBY ART CENTER. 

I am also a member of the Artists Registry which does special benefit shows in the area from time to time. 

As of April 1, 2007 I retired from my 'day job' to devote my time to art, and assisting my son Patrick.  Patrick is now out of high school, and as most of the people who know me know that he is in a wheelchair due to an accident when he was 5 years old.  Patrick and I are now going to enjoy life, doing the things we enjoy most!

In October 2007 I established a studio in the SOULARD ART MARKET CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY located at 2028 South 12th Street, St. Louis, MO.  It is actually on the corner of 12th and Russell.  You take Poplar Street Bridge over, take exit 40C which is hwy 44/55 and take the 12th Street Exit.  Follow 12th Street about 3 blocks to Russell, and boom!  Its right there on the left!  Across the street from the Croation Church and caddy corner from McGuirks!  In October of 2008 I moved my studio to another area of the gallery when an artist vacated, my sister helped me paint the walls a dark charcoal and gray to make my artwork really pop!  Come by and take a look sometime!!
