A native of Athens, Georgia, Kathy Whitehead has lived and worked in Georgia most of her life. Like many artists, she is primarily self-taught, but also studied at the Seminole Community College in Florida, the SNCA school in the Sautee Valley, and numerous workshops throughout her career.
Since moving to the mountains, Kathy has concentrated in the medium of prismacolor pencils, collage, and mosaic. Some of her pencil drawings are extrordinarily detailed images of treasures from her past and that of her family. The collages reflect a twist on reality and are made from hand painted paper or magazines. The mosaics are made from recycled Christmas cards cut in 1/2 inch squares.
Giving pleasure to the viewer is one of the primary goals and the journey to the final product, the artist's passion. |
