ARTIST FEATURES


Abstract painting by Kathryn Arnold located in San Francisco, 010323

Kathryn Arnold - Paintings

Kathryn Arnold is a painter whose work explores abstraction through a deliberate and intuitive approach to composition. Her use of color ranges from jewel-toned brilliance to soft, muted hues, while the varied textures of her surfaces invite close engagement. “I allow for intense optical mixing as layers build upon each other with translucent effects integrating both on canvas and in the eye,” she explains. “As I work, I notice a sense of personality and emotive nature developing and pursue it. Poetic gestures reveal the diaphanous character of thoughts and associations, processes of mind, in substantial and solid form.” Located in San Francisco.
