Kathy Durst artist was educated at the University of Texas at Austin. Born in Redwing, Minnesota, she grew up in Rockford, Illinois and went to an all-girls school. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts and an all-level teaching certificate in Visual Arts. Having retired from teaching, Kathy was invited to display a selection of pieces from her ark-full of painted collages at her first solo show at the Ross Gallery in 2014.
A quarter of a century of teaching art has exposed the artist to almost every conceivable medium and technique. A lot of her work that is currently available for viewing online is paper painting collage stuff. Her "Lammie" is a great example of what can be achieved with creative use of scraps of paper and paint.
"Lammie" and "Yulka" illustrate what can be achieved by creatively employing paint and carefully selected scraps of paper. In "Yulka, " we see an empty soft drink bottle showing through a floral patterned swimsuit for flotation. This is a very deft application of the collage painting technique.
The materials are readily available and inexpensive and the techniques can be taught to preschoolers. With her 25 years' experience and maturity, Ms Durst produces some complex and ingeniously patterned results. It is easy to find tutorials of collage methods on the Internet. If you really want to understand the artist, it is worth spending some time getting to know the medium.
In terms of subject matter, Kathy seems partial to animals, although this could be because that is the theme of her show at the Ross Gallery. "Take Me Along, " featuring a pair of scuba divers, goes a long way to showing the breadth of creativity that can be achieved with paper paint collage as opposed to a plain old boring brush and paint. Here, the pair are swirling through a sea of musical notes and scraps from an atlas. It looks more ethereal than it sounds.
View a few of her efforts and you will be itching to start producing your own masterpieces. Spend time losing yourself in the detail and really study her imaginative use of colors and textures. You will soon be clearing a space in your home for your own "studio" and hoarding interesting scraps of paper to the amusement of your friends and family.
Durst's "Rose" is absolutely breathtaking. Coral tones of the blossom itself are picked out in the distant foliage. You will have to pinch yourself to be convinced it is not a photograph. It is difficult to tell what medium the artist employed. It does not appear to be a paper painted collage but with her talent and vision, it very well could be.
Kathy Durst artist uses textured papers and stencils in her work to give it character and depth. As beginners, the best we can hope for is a lovingly-produced Sunday School project. Find the date of her next showing and track down her work. You will be hooked.
