Kathy Corey
Born in Key West, I am a descendant of seafarers, adventure seekers, and rapscallions lured by the ocean. My art is inspired by my conch heritage and nature’s glory, the vastness and roar of the ocean, and all creatures therein. An ever-changing sky with its kaleidoscope of colors, clouds, and space takes my breath away.
I am traditionally trained using an old master's palette and technique with a touch of modernity. I am lucky to marvel at the sea, sand, and sky each day when I paint in Key West. Using oil and watercolor mediums, my paintings transport the viewer to revel in the splendor of our island home.
My whole life I have had a passion for art. I recall as a young child my mother putting butcher paper on the walls of my room because my sister and I drew everywhere. Even today, I am still tempted to paint on the walls although a canvas is preferred.
I went on to marry and raise a family, which left little time for anything more than finger paints and play dough. Through the years art always tugged on my spirit. Now, I am a grandmother of seven budding mini artists that keep me busy with their amazing creations.
Off and on when time permitted, I pursued my education. I have a Communications degree and a Master's in Business from Washington University in St. Louis. I managed to fit some art and art history into the curriculum and I have studied under some really amazing artists such as B.J. Parker, Patricia Watwood, Cindy Tower and Victor Wang.
When I am not painting, I am reading, writing, and spending as much time as possible near the water. I am married with 3 children, 7 grandchildren, and 4 grand-dogs. My family provides me an enormous amount of joy, support, and subject matter.
I am so happy to have rekindled my love for painting! I hope you enjoy my art and I wish you the best in finding your own creative spirit.
