Katy Kuhn

Overview
Katy Kuhn

Katy Kuhn lives life with enthusiasm and creativity, choosing to paint as a way of processing what she sees and feels - both to have an immediate and vital experience, and to create an experience for others to explore.

 

As an avid traveler, Katy seeks inspiration in new and provocative surroundings. Be it of the earth or the machinery of humankind, the world pulses with life and beseeches an interactive response. As an artist she wants to share the motion and rhythm she feels and sees! To celebrate spontaneity and joy. To be vulnerable and encounter deep feelings. To explore the essence of spirit and share her findings.

 

“Art for me is the bridge between being and sensing, thus living life in its fullest offering. Making art connects me to the greater universe: to people, places, ideas, and romance. It’s essential.”

 

Katy is a Bay Area native, a third generation Californian, and has lived in Marin for over 27 years. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley and studied monotype printmaking at the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Southern California.
