Kathleen Lack Art

Kathleen Lack works in watercolor, pastels and oils, and specializes in portraits. She’s award winning artist and teacher living and working in Novato, California. The photographs of renowned paintings on the back cover pages of the Reader’s Digest magazine were her earliest childhood art influences. Kathleen always knew she would eventually become an artist. Her greatest inspirations came from a variety of masters, including Vuillard, Edgar Degas and John Sargent Singer. She became an artist because of continuously painting and drawing faces from life. He worked so hard and eventually was able to capture a person’s likeness. This was of great satisfaction for her. She studied Commercial Art at San Jose University and later, studied under Daniel Greene, Bob Gerbracht, Chester Arnold and Kent Rupp. Kathleen loves the explorative, creative nature of art, and the never-ending hunt for compositions that draw viewers in and color combinations that excite. She says that her inspiration to draw and paint people is constant. Adding that when she observes people, she is seeing soft golden hue against their faces combined with an expression of emotional involvement - and she’s compelled to capture that on canvas. To Kathleen, it is the greatness of that moment, the elegant body positions, the shadows, light and color that need to be rendered that make her to feel attached to her work.
