Art Show - Kathy Armstrong: Bountiful Wisconsin

We are pleased to present “Bountiful Wisconsin,” an exhibition by Madison artist Kathy Armstrong.  In the exhibit, Kathy showcases Wisconsin farms, flowers and farmer’s market fruits and vegetables in rich colors of transparent watercolor and acrylic. 

The artist confesses, “nothing beats that moment, after my initial drawing is transferred to my watercolor paper, when I start putting down color.  Bringing a painting to life from a stark white sheet of paper or canvas is a source of real joy for me.” 

Kathy grew up in upstate New York surrounded by nature, animals and her family of eight. She graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and later moved to Wisconsin where she works as a graphic designer at Good for Business when she's not painting. Although she's loved creating art since childhood, she didn't discover her preferred medium, transparent watercolor, until the early 90's.  Self-taught in watercolor, most recently Kathy has been exploring painting in acrylic and enjoys the variation each medium brings.

The show will remain on view until Sunday, August 28, 2011 at Anaba Tea Room, 2107 East Capitol Drive, Shorewood, Wisconsin.
