About the Artist:

Kathleen has an extensive exhibition history and her artworks are part of many public and private collections in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

She holds a BA in History from Barnard College at Columbia University in New York. She also studied at Mount Allison University, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) University, and MUN Extension Arts.

In 1977, Kathleen initiated and organized the life-drawing program Group of 77, which ran for over 30 years. Today, she is part of the Senior Artist Sunday Group and continues with her professional practice.
