Kathy Elliott Figurative Paintings
Kathy is an abstract artist who explores a diverse range of mediums and techniques, including painting with oil or acrylic, incorporating paper in collage, and experimenting with printmaking. Her creative process is fluid and ever-evolving, marked by a love for alternating between painting and drawing. These two forms often meld together seamlessly, while at other times, they drift apart, each finding its own voice within the work. This dynamic interplay between media mirrors the way elements within a composition influence and challenge one another. A central theme in Kathy's work is the exploration of negative space—the quiet, almost sacred intervals between objects or forms. These empty spaces, much like the pauses we seek in life, offer moments of rest, contemplation, and safety. They allow the work to breathe, creating a delicate balance that invites the viewer to reflect. For Kathy, these intervals are as essential as the elements that fill them, offering a quiet power that deepens the overall impact of the piece.
Creating art, for Kathy, is akin to constructing a puzzle—an abstract equation or narrative where every mark, layer, and erasure contributes to a greater story. Each piece takes on a life of its own, shifting and evolving with every decision. There is a continuous process of addition and subtraction, where one element may give way to another, and the composition is constantly redefined. For Kathy, this act of layering and unlayering is an ongoing puzzle in motion, a dynamic equation waiting to be solved—a narrative unfolding with every brushstroke, cut, or print.
