Kathy has always loved to paint and draw. She began painting seriously from the age of 15, copying German Expressionist paintings from a calendar her dad gave her, before finding her own style. She trained in Art and Design and Education in the 1970s, coming to Pembrokeshire for the first time in 1978 to visit the Graham Sutherland collection at Picton Castle. She fell in love with the stunning, ancient landscape of the St. David’s peninsula. After a long career teaching special needs children in Kent, and taking part in local exhibitions and the South East Open Studios, she eventually came to live in North Pembrokeshire in 2017. She works mainly in oils in a semi-abstract style, inspired by estuary, mountain, and coastal landscapes. She has a studio overlooking Carn Ingli in the Preseli Hills, and has been a committee member for North Pembrokeshire Open Studios since 2018.
Mae Kathy wedi bod wrth ei bodd yn peintio a darlunio erioed. Dechreuodd beintio o ddifrif o 15 oed, gan gopïo paentiadau Mynegiadol Almaeneg o galendr a roddodd ei thad iddi, cyn dod o hyd i’w steil ei hun. Hyfforddodd mewn Celf a Dylunio ac Addysg yn y 70au, gan ddod i Sir Benfro am y tro cyntaf ym 1978 i ymweld â chasgliad Graham Sutherland yng Nghastell Picton. Syrthiodd mewn cariad â thirwedd hynafol, syfrdanol penrhyn Tyddewi. Ar ôl gyrfa hir yn addysgu plant anghenion arbennig yng Nghaint, a chymryd rhan mewn arddangosfeydd lleol a Stiwdios Agored y De Ddwyrain, yn y pen draw daeth i fyw i Ogledd Sir Benfro yn 2017. Mae hi’n gweithio’n bennaf mewn olewau mewn arddull lled-haniaethol, wedi’i hysbrydoli gan aber, tirweddau mynyddig ac arfordirol. Mae ganddi stiwdio yn edrych dros Garn Ingli ym Mynyddoedd y Preseli, ac mae wedi bod yn aelod o bwyllgor Stiwdios Agored Gogledd Sir Benfro ers 2018.
