Artist’s Bio

"I am a compulsive creator. I have no choice but to continue on. My mind decides to create and my hands carry out their tasks as willing participants. I describe my works as "mostly functional". Much of it borders on 'kitsch' - there's no getting away from it - so I embrace that aspect of my work, and use it as a tool for communication. I feel that my work is accessible but thoughtful, and leaves the viewer with something to think about."

Kathleen has participated in numerous workshops under the guidance of notable artists including Walter Dexter, Gert Maas, Bob Kingsmill, Katrina Rossman, and many others whom she has been inspired by. She regularly attends relevant symposiums in Vancouver and Kelowna learning new skills and passing on some of her own.

The pieces are functional and the shiny glaze inside is a food-safe majolica.
