ARTIST FOCUS: December 2023
"I am a visual storyteller, continually moved and inspired by the magic of nature and the human spirit." This mantra is profoundly woven into Kathleen's imagery. The female figure is most often the heart of the piece, nestled peacefully in other-worldly landscapes and encircled with botanicals and a variety of creatures.

“Nurturing Your Creative Flame: An Interview with Kathleen Kinkopf”
Selected Artist Feature: Summer 2023
Create! Blog: Published May 25, 2023; Associate Editor and Contributing Writer: Christina Nafziger
“Mystical, magical, fantastical, mysterious—all of these words and more simultaneously describe the art of Kathleen Kinkopf. Painting detailed and stylized figures and lush elements of nature, the artist creates a narrative that is all her own. Kinkopf grew up in a small town where she was able to spend her time experiencing the beauty of nature. However, for artists, small towns can often come with a price: there is not a lot of exposure to art. At least, that was Kinkopf’s experience, leading her to quickly understand the importance of an artist’s inner creative flame.
Join us in conversation as the artist tells us about her love of the old masters, the emotional impact of nature, and her journey from being a graphic designer, to opening her own gallery, to now being a full-time artist.”

SHOW: BIG ARTS Annual International Juried Exhibition, Sanibel Island, Florida; September 16-October 23, 2022; OPENING RECEPTION: October 7, 5-7pm
DETAILS: AWARD: 2nd Place (out of 900 entries), with 86 artworks selected from 58 artists nationwide.
FINALE: Tragically, Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, canceling the show and opening. Thankfully the art was spared (in this newly constructed art center), but the Island was devastated. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go to the fine citizens of Sanibel Island while they rebuild their community.
