"Transformative"

"Before I took Kathy's workshop, I was feeling  stuck. Her workshop was so robust, I'm still digesting the lessons. She gave me the tools to get out of my head and paint through my heart. She's transformed how I paint."
Stephanie Molnar, Artist

"Rare gift for translating her mastery"

"I recently attended the week-long Rose Painting Workshop at Rush Hollow Studio and cannot say enough about Kathleen and her exceptional ability as a teacher. She is a superb artist and an outstanding educator who has a rare gift for translating her mastery of painting and her passion for her work into teaching that is both accessible and inspiring.

"Kathleen has developed a logical, repeatable, and consistent approach to color mixing that makes what can often seem like a complex and intimidating process understandable and manageable. Her method gives students a clear framework for understanding color and, more importantly, the confidence to apply those principles independently in their own work.

"As one of her long-time students, I highly recommend Kathleen’s workshops. You will leave with not only a deeper understanding of color, but with a profound new awareness of how color can transform your painting and take your work to a whole new level."

"I approach flower painting with a lot more confidence"

"I took Kathy’s Rose Painting Workshop two years ago. Kathy shared valuable information on everything from mixing strings, brushes (which make all the difference) to demonstrating techniques. I learned so much! I had work to do after that and spent time building the tubes of paint to be able to lay out strings. Through this process, I have a new mastery of the value scale and I have found colors I struggled to find before. I approach flower painting with a lot more confidence and feel my work has really improved. I’m truly grateful that I took that workshop and studied with Kathy."
