Visual Stories
The Visual Stories are colorful paintings on prepared birch wood panels. The initial design concept was inspired by Hawaiian quilts that Kathy learned to make while living in Oahu. Instead of being symmetrical the painted symbols change as the story unfolds in a clockwise manner. Kathy creates the initial design and then transfers it to the painting surface. The images are painted using watercolor, inks, or acrylics.
The first chapter of Visual Stories is called “Rumors” based on the whimsical tall tales of gossip which is universal to people of all ages. She has recently started on the next chapter based on Bible stories.
