ARTIST WEBSITES
Kathryn Arnold
- Paintings
Kathryn Arnold is an artist working primarily with painting. Applying abstraction,
Arnold formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes conscious process of composition.
Colors in Arnold's paintings are variously jewel-like or subtly muted. The paint's
texture varies, drawing the viewer in. In Kathryn's own words, "I allow for intense
optical mixing as layers build upon each other with translucent effects integrating both
on canvas and in the eye. I build up surfaces with marks. As I work, I notice a sense of
personality and emotive nature developing and pursue it. Poetic gestures reveal the
diaphanous character of thoughts and associations (processes of mind) in substantial and
solid form." Located in San Francisco. Website:

Santana Star - Paintings
Santana was born in Glasgow Scotland, grew up on the East Coast of Canada, lived in
England for 20 plus years and now lives in Northern California. She has always loved
beauty especially the beauty of nature. She loves being out in nature and her paintings
express the majesty of nature with bold shapes and vibrant colors. Location: Northern
