Artist 1

Kathy Coulston is a modern impressionist painter known for her vibrant color and unique vision of everyday life mixing realism with abstraction.

Her work celebrates the drama of ordinary by connecting to the unexpected using bold color, dramatic perspective, and embellished shadows. Her paintings in oil and acrylic evoke resilience in the familiar with the spontaneity of the new, combining a mix of surprise, comfort, and whimsy.

A sense of being alone is a common thread in her compositions. Despite being surrounded by friends, family, and acquaintances, she tells the story of individuality in the journey through life. Trying to relate in an endless search for connection, a feel of loneliness and isolation is ever-present due to one’s unique qualities that make us feel separate. Combining imagery of being different and unexpected with the feel of familiar comfort, she celebrates inclusion and the unconventional self as something to embrace.

Statement

Painting quiet moments out loud, my work celebrates the drama of ordinary by connecting to the unexpected using bold color, dramatic perspective, and embellished shadows. Finding resilience in the familiar, I strive to mix an element of surprise, comfort, and whimsy in my work.

A sense of being alone is a common thread in my painting, even with group depictions. Despite being surrounded by friends, family, and acquaintances, we are all alone on our journey through life. We try to relate in our endless search for connection, but we still feel loneliness and isolation due to our unique qualities, which make us feel separate. Combining imagery of being different and unexpected with the feel of familiar comfort, we celebrate inclusion and our unconventional self as something to embrace.
