Kathleen Piccione
Kathleen's early love of realism was influenced by such artists as James Bama and John Waterhouse . Mostly self- taught from an early age, she became proficient in black and white mediums preferring graphite, charcoal, and ink over paint. She gradually moved into color mediums working in color pencil then finally delving into acrylics and oils. As a portrait artist in her 20's she did extensive commissioned work for clients focusing on people, pets, and equine art.
Her close ties to native people and culture, as well as her own Chippewa ancestry has given her the desire to create meaningful pieces depicting the spiritual side of native people, southwest genre, and the animals and wildlife that are dearest to her heart.
Kathleen's work has won various awards and has been shown in galleries in Wisconsin, Utah, Nevada, Illinois and New Mexico and is also in various private collections. Her murals are throughout the U.S.
Artist's statement- " I feel people connect with a particular painting or creation not so much by what they see but by the feeling or the energy that emanates from a particular piece. As an artist, I must be in tune with myself and my subject if I intend to create a piece that will draw the viewer in and touch their heart."
