Kathleen Cowie
Framed 33 x 33 cm
Kathleen Cowie works across several art specialisms. She draws and paints from direct observation, sometimes developing the imagery into further paintings, mixed media pieces and original prints. Kathleen also designs and makes kiln-fired enamel jewellery and small products which are abstract in colour, shapes and texture and are often functional. Kathleen’s inspiration is wide reaching but includes an enduring interest in
figurative art and portraiture, aiming to capture likeness, posture tension and character, an authentic human presence. The observation of both random and symbolic still life objects and artifacts are also a theme. As are coastal and urban features of the north-east of Scotland. As a wild swimmer and scuba diver the marine environment fascinates and Kathleen’s paintings and prints in this area quietly highlight the beauty and importance of sea life and the need for its’ protection. Drawing underpins all of Kathleen’s art and she aims to produce work that has simplicity and directness, but also refinement.
