The Definition of Fine Art by Kathleen

Welcome!

I’m Kathleen, the creator behind every image on this site. Growing up along Oregon’s northern coast instilled in me a lifelong love for the outdoors, a passion that continues to inspire my work.

For over 20 years, I nurtured and harvested flowers as a flower farmer, growing and selling blooms that I also designed into arrangements for weddings and special occasions. Today, my gardens still flourish, providing a bounty of flowers that I photograph and incorporate into my art.

As the art world evolves, so do my creative techniques. I embrace modern methods to hand-paint each stroke in my mixed-media portraits, transforming a simple photograph into a custom, museum-quality work of art. My camera is just the beginning—every piece I create is a fusion of photography and artistic vision, designed to elevate a moment into timeless decor. From capturing reference images to printing, matting, and even framing, I pour years of skill and craftsmanship into delivering art that is truly unique and personal.

What is Fine Art?

Fine art is where photography meets imagination, where the artist transforms a concept into something extraordinary. Unlike traditional photography, fine art is crafted with the intention of becoming a focal point for your walls—a high-caliber piece that reflects both beauty and vision.

I invite you to explore my work and join me on this creative journey.

Cheers! Kathleen
