Art Exhibit - Kathy Coe

Kathy Coe paints with an eye for both likeness and spirit. Her portraits, still lifes, and figural works don't simply capture appearances - they reveal personality, presence, and the quiet truths of her subjects. Working from life and guided by natural shifting light, Coe builds her compositions intuitively, rather than imposing a fixed plan, she follows feeling, allowing each painting to unfold into its own mood and voice.

Trained at the Du Cret School of the Arts and the National Academy of Fine Art and Design, Coe studied with masters including Furman Finck, Ron Sherr, Harvey Dinnerstein and Mary Beth McKenzie. The foundation in rigorous observation is matched by her gift for color and atmosphere - subtle harmonies that give her paintings both intimacy and radiance.

Throughout her career, Coe has received numerous honors, among them the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, the Edward Mooney Traveling Scholarship, the National Academy Lorraine Grace Award and Helen M. Loggi Award, the James Sudan Bronze Medal, and the Salmagundi Silver Medal for drawing.
