About KathleenKathleen Lack, an award winning artist & teacher, works in oils and pastels, specializing in the portrait & the figure. She has garnered many family portrait commissions with up to 8 people in a single portrait. As with her portraits and figurative work, the body language and environment is informal, relaxed and fluid: kids playing at the beach, climbing trees, observing nature - people being themselves.
Her work includes paintings of “The Ballet”, a Western theme entitled ”Boots, Hats, & Horses”, “Musicians”, & “Figuratives”. Kathleen is represented by and/or associated with Lyon’s Head Gallery in Carmel Valley; Portrait Society of America; Oil Painters of America; California Art Club; and Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Novato. |
