Artwork by Kathleen McCarthy

“My work is the exploration of light and shadow and their transient nature in the world. I try to capture that feeling when you see the sun filtering through the trees, momentarily changing the color we see all around us. Looking for hidden overlooked hues in the shadows. The unexpected pop of bright red, the deep purples, the golden glow on the horizon. That’s how I’d like my art to feel – transient, vibrant, and a little overwhelming.

Using acrylics, and watercolor with pastel, my goal is to bring the peace of the outdoors and all its beauty inside, to splash the walls with color and fill them up. To showcase the little fleeting moments of the world around us as a reminder to take time to pause and enjoy it.”
