Kathy Weeks shown Painting for the new 2020 NCA Art Gallery Exhibit, April 21.
For Kathy Weeks, art has always been a strong venue to share thoughts and ideas. The use of different materials in her work is calculated.
“I am looking for avenues of the unexpected,” said Kathy. “An ironic twist to the everyday. Provoking a viewer into new and perhaps unexplored territory.” She started in photography taking classes at her local community college and being involved in a photography club. This led to an interest in black and white photography. She developed and printed her own work. After she started hand tinting her photos, she became interested in painting. When Kathy moved to Michigan, she started selling her work. The woman who owned the shop worked in watercolor and she became very interested in this medium. Moving to Nebraska she started taking private lessons. She has worked in watercolor for many years. Kathy said “when she moved to Fairfield Bay and bought Jacks and she didn’t have a lot of time for her hobby. After selling the business I have taken it back up. I’m having a lot of fun using all the different mediums in a combined work. The new work has been very popular in Austin. It helps the audience there is a bit younger and more eclectic. I have always felt blessed and surprised when someone takes a piece of my work into their home or office.” Come view Kathy’s beautiful art at the art gallery.
