(Return to "Kathy Pollitt Introduction" page)

Kathy Pollitt is a practising artist, living near Toowoomba Queensland, since 1986

Kathy grew up in rural New South Wales and gained a deep love of the country at an early age

With tuition and encouragement from many successful artists in Adelaide, Perth and Sydney,
Kathy has developed into a confident, colourful and adventurous artist

Artist and mentors such as Ronald Coudrey, Gary Lee-Gaston, Fred Klix, Reg Hicks,
Reg Jordan, Irene Amos and Brian Malt have all been instrumental in her artistic development

A variety of workshops and tuition undertaken in England and Australia also helped to form Kathy’s style
She enjoys travelling and uses every opportunity to record the landscapes, elements and atmosphere

Kathy’s earlier works were mainly watercolour and oil
Many of Kathy’s later works are in acrylics which offer such rich colours and great flexibility in application

Kathy’s work is represented in private collections in
England, the United States, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand

The landscape and its forms are the main inspiration for my art work
This has developed into an expression of my personal links with the earth

Many of my paintings begin life as a watercolour sketch completed outdoors, surrounded by nature,
where I really sense God's creative energy

I enjoy using transparent watercolour, gouache, pencil and dry mediums
for these reference sketches and smaller works

I enjoy the finer aspect of drawing
and like to record detail of place and a sense of reality in my outdoor sketches

Dreams and inner visions sometimes form the basis of a new work
The process of bringing an image out of the dream space
and creating a physical image is a very exciting and rewarding one

To me, colour and the creative attitude is a healing and energising force for both artist and viewer

Welcome to my world
