ARTIST STATEMENTS

Picture
Katherine J Ford
NanaKate@kjfordart.com

A Wisconsin watercolorist using her paintings to change the perception of ordinary. She expresses herself in amazing watercolor paintings of ordinary stuff. 
As a lifetime creative she turned her attention to watercolor in 2006 and started attending classes and workshops. 

Initial subjects were flowers, but upon request animals, fish, birds and mechanical objects became part of her portfolio.  Her paintings are created to expose unusual details often overlooked by the casual observer. 
​

Watercolor paintings have been offered for sale since 2017 in art shows, art galleries and her online website:  https://kjfordart.com/.  She is juried member of the 14 South Artists group and serves on their Board of Directors as the Treasurer.

Karen Nell McKean
The Dream Studio

"​I am a life long award-winning oil painter. When I see something I find beautiful I feel an irresistible urge to represent that beauty by painting it. 

I have experienced these feelings since early childhood. Also, an unusual idea or thought that I find interesting can stimulate the impulse to paint. Images that emerge from dreams, from people I encounter, or a myriad of other sources will catch my fancy and provide me with inspiration, especially for the works of magic realism I create.  Some of my paintings are quite mysterious.

Besides imaginal images, my paintings can include human and animal portraiture, impressionistic landscapes, and almost photo-realistic depictions. As an equestrian, I dearly enjoy painting horses too. My vivid paintings usually feature qualities of brightness and interesting light effects. I have often been called a colorist.

​I completely engage myself in representing a subject authentically and I find the application of skillful techniques engrossing and challenging. People ask me how I have such patience for detail, but when I am absorbed in my work, I forget about time and space and I find it hard to put down my brush. I am proud to have 6 paintings on permanent display at Epic Corp in Verona, WI."
