Kathleen Eaton Art: A Good Experience

A Good Experience

I'm nearing the end of my term as artist-in-residence at the Neville Public Museum - Tuesday of next week is my last session. I'd like to thank the wonderful folks at the museum for making my stay memorable and enjoyable. I've been taking notes and will post some comments on what I've learned from this experience in a future message. If given the opportunity, I would definitely do it again. Sharing this time with good friends and family has been heart-warming. I've also gained valuable experience in painting from life. Thank you to all who have supported me in this process!

This is Chuck, my husband and hero.

About Kathleen

Kathleen (Kay) Eaton left a career in graphic design and marketing to focus, full-time, on fine art oil painting, with an emphasis on portraits and figurative works. She also participates in a variety of plein air events throughout the country.

“After a lifetime in creative fields, I decided I didn’t want to get to my death bed and wish I had attempted to develop my skill as a fine artist,” she says. In that light, her work has a certain spirituality to it that fascinates and captivates her audience.

She has studied with Daniel Gerhartz, Everett Raymond Kinstler, C.W. Mundy, Nancy Guzik, Rose Frantzen, Judith Carducci, Peggy Baumgaertner, James Hempel and Andrew Orr.

In 2012, she was artist-in-residence at the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay, WI, and in 2013 she had a solo exhibit in the main lobby of the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, MI. Her work can be seen at River's End Gallery in Waukesha, WI, and at DCF Gallery in Grosse Point, MI, as well as on her website at www.kathleeneatonart.com.
