FEATURED ARTIST Kathleen Strukoff – Modern Colorist
Capturing the essence of a scene (alla prima) on location in one quick and energetic session. Kathleen uses a combination of palette knife and vigorous brushwork with bold colors to express her translation of the scene. She is known for her brilliant colors and capturing the light whether it is an urban scene or a landscape!
Kathleen’s love for painting landscapes began as a young girl growing up in New Mexico where she first started painting in the beautiful environment of northern New Mexico. Like many artists, she was moved by the spectacular vistas and colors that you see in nature on a daily basis when you live in the high desert areas of this state.
In recent years, she has become obsessed with the spirit and challenge of plein air painting. To see more of Kathleen's work, please click here: Kathleen Strukoff Artwork
