Fallbrook Brandon Gallery

"For me,"Kathleen observes, "inspiration is usually more driven by process than by subject matter.  I work intuitively without boundaries of intellectual purpose, and I alter images and even mediums as each work progresses.  While an idea may originate with something particular, the piece that develops usually transcends identification with a specific time or event."

"My early formal education consisted of oil painting, textile design, and silkscreen printing.  Over time I moved  to acrylics and mixed media.  When I began making prints, I discovered that monotypes particularly suited my working style and blended well with my mixed media interests."

"I try to explore images and ideas spontaneously and from unexpected points of view.  My hope is that my own surprise of discovery will be translated into my finished work."
