Artist Statement:
"Art is an integral part of my
life which reveals itself in
many forms and media. I enjoy
creating many forms of visual
art, using a variety of media:
oils, acrylics, watercolors,
pastels, pen and inks,
silverpoint, and enjoy doing
photography, music, creative
writing, journalism and
poetry. My subject matter is
not limited. Art reflects my
life...perhaps it IS my life.
I find inspiration
everywhere--in nature, in
people's faces, in design,
dreams, visions, thoughts and
in the spirit. My conception
of Paradise is that it will be
a place where artists will be
free to do art without limit.
Art is my way of getting
closer to the Creator."

"I like meeting the public at
art shows and I still believe
in art for arts sake." states

The artist also exhibits art work at art fairs she attends.
Barnes' first exhibition was at the elementary school at the age of seven years. She was given a large space to display her artwork in the hallway showcase. At the recommendation of teachers, Kathryn was sent to art school by her parents, and studied at the art school of the South Bend Art Center. "I received excellent instruction, and was advanced to adult classes at the age of 12, when I began oil painting, learning the techniques of the old masters." Barnes states. Paintings of the young artist were exhibited at this time in the South Bend Art Center gallery with later exhibitions there also. Barnes also studied art in high school and in college. Living in art colonies, she painted and learned from other living artists, exhibiting in art fairs since 1971, beginning with the first art fair in Crested Butte, Colorado. Presently, Barnes exhibits through the art guild and local galleries. "My online gallery of fine art at www.kathrynbarnes.com lists a calendar, galleries by subject matter, an order form for art and shopping cart features, a bio and artist statement and art links. I enjoy meeting the public, and also value the opportunity to exhibit online.
