The artist says of her work: \u201cThe \u2018Industrial Evolution\u2019 series of paintings is my visual interpretation of an era of change my country, the United States, is undergoing due to evolving world-wide technological and manufacturing industries. Inspiration and visual references abound from my iron mining home on Lake Superior in Northern Michigan, through the farming heartland to the desert southwest and from coast to coast. I strive to paint the colors, textures, lines, shapes, sounds and feel – the essence of this evolution that affects every aspect of American life. International travel deepens my interest in this subject.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kathleen\u2019s work has been exhibited internationally including at L\u2019Aquerelle World Competition, France, in Cappadocia, Turkey, at the Eau en Couleurs, International Watercolor Biennial, Castle of Bourgogne, Belgium, Thessaloniki, Greece, and the Shenzhen Museum, China.<\/p>\n

Exhibits Curator Terri Jordan says, \u201cFor several years the museum has placed an emphasis on celebrating talented female artists during Women\u2019s History Month (March). It is a great pleasure to add Kathleen to this roster and to give our audience a chance to see her beautiful and complex paintings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Industrial Evolution is on view March 2nd through May 2nd. An accompanying catalog is available at Seasons: The Museum Store.<\/p>\n
