Artist Kathy Leader

Materials list and Zoom link will be placed on home page prior to workshop.

• Kathy Leader grew up in South Africa where she received a degree in fine art at the Michaelis School of Art, University of Cape Town. She then went on to get her masters in art education. After teaching in Cape Town, Kathy emigrated to the United States in 1985. Kathy's personal artwork has gone through many evolutions during her move from the southern to the northern hemisphere.

• My work has always been deeply affected by the natural environment. Where I grew up, the  richness of the African colors of the earth and skies seeped into my work. Now, the Californian canyon where I live, is surrounded by trees, fires, coyotes and wild flowers.

• My earlier abstracted figurative shapes evolved into biomorphic shapes which seemed to struggle to survive.  I gradually realized through my art process that I was primarily talking about the environment’s struggle to survive. I found that I could convey these feelings through mixed media and collage work. Alternating layers of paint, collage, wax, charcoal and my own writings, has helped me to bury and excavate these images and ideas. I do not start with a specific end product in mind. Rather, I allow the process to inform me of the inner workings of my mind: my concerns, my struggles, my values and my spiritual being. My images of nature convey longing and even beauty in their brokenness. My WabiSabi series of works conveys this sense of impermanence and fragility that is present for me in the natural world. The Revive series alludes to the contrast between the sharp edges of our industry interfering with the organic world.
  
• In addition to my personal work, I am a passionate creative coach, guiding artists and non artists alike. The Art Process Studio is an online and in person entity. From this process oriented philosophy I encourage and support anyone who wants to explore their creativity as a means of self discovery and healing. Businesses and corporations seeking to provide wellness programs to their employees have successfully used the services of The Art Process Studio.
