Kathleen received a BFA (cum laude) in Photography from Ohio University in 1970, and then studied extensively with Minor White and worked for Aperture, a renowned photography quarterly. She was a staff photographer at the Findhorn Foundation, Scotland, and Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Kathleen received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1991, and her photography has received numerous awards – most recently 1st place in the Adult Photography division of the Hawaii Nei 2023 Exhibit at the Wailoa Center in Hilo.
“I have always been interested in conveying more than the literal interpretation of what I photograph, whether it be my experience of the subject when I am fully present, or where it leads me creatively to a deeper reality. I seek to experience the radiance in all life and have my images express that radiance tangibly enough so that others may see and feel it, too.”
” I have worked with a variety of techniques and alternative processes, including infrared photography and the digital darkroom. My current passions are digital infrared, landscapes, nature, compositing images, and figurative work. I am a member of the Kailua Village Artists Gallery, the West Hawaii Artists Tribe (WHAT), and president of the South Kona Artists Collective (SOKO).”
