A huge "Thank You" to Grace and Evelyn, who made all this happen.
Kathy Cooper paints from life in her studio in Westford, MA, and en plein air around New England and across the USA. In her still life she is inspired by antiques and fresh flowers. She captures the essence of roses and peonies with a gentle and peaceful setting. Kathy was raised in Texas by parents who encouraged her artistic talents early on. Her career was in illustration, marketing and advertising, and publishing design, which eventually brought her to New England.
After 20 years in the field, kathy turned her focus back to fine arts and studied with well-known, established artists. She is the President/CEO of the American Impressionist Society and has been published in Southwest Art Magazine, Art of the West, American Art Collector, and Plein Air Magazine. She is drawn to the beauty of God's creations, especially roses, peonies and landscape. Her work is a delicate balance between energy and precision of the subject.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, Karen Nastuk moved into ad agency creative jobs, writing and art directing. "Married with kids, I kept our life story by drawing notes in journals. I soon could draw anything, even from memory. Watercolors are my best medium because they are liberating and natural, although I have loved murals because they transform a space inexpensively, and they outlast wallpapers. I'm an out-of-the box thinker, and I love to paint what people dream of - a favorite spot; favorite things set like a still life; an idea for a home addition; grandparents playing canasta."
Karen teaches Watercolor Painting to all ages on Wednesdays in Danvers, at her home on Thursdays, and in Topsfield in October. If you would like information about where and when, you may call Karen at 978 774 6175.
