At the end of the day collecting art is about people. The artist (in this case, Kathie) is telling a story that makes a connection with another. Think about the art that hangs on your own walls... wouldn't it be great to know the one who brought that story into being?
This is the privilege Kathie has. Time after time people attach themselves to the narrative she is painting, and a relationship with both art and artist begins. To all of those who have honored her with a purchase, thank you!
