I paint feelings, design ideas, and direct stories.
Hello! I’m Kathy a Louisville-born maker, risk-taker, and lifelong believer that creativity is a muscle best flexed in every direction. After three decades calling cues backstage, I now split my time between three stages of expression:

1. The Canvas
Lockdown turned my kitchen table into a studio and my curiosity into a calling. Through Milan Art Institute’s Fine Art Mastery Program I traded fear for bold color, layering oil, acrylic, and mixed media into paintings that chase joy, memory, and the quiet magic of everyday life.
I love:

*expressive portraiture

* abstract realism

* photography references that refuse to sit still

2. The Screen
Graphic design lets me tell stories at pixel-speed. Currently finishing my formal design degree, I fuse theatre-honed composition with fresh digital skills to craft logos, posters, and visual identities that move.
Why it works:
* Narrative instinct from years of script analysis
* Stage manager precision for deadlines & detail
* A flair for the dramatic because bland never converts

3. The Stage
Thirty years as a professional Stage Manager taught me how to keep art on time and egos in harmony. Now, as a Director, I flip the headset and bring that backstage rhythm to center stage shaping performances built on trust, clarity, and electric pacing.

In rehearsal you’ll catch me:
*Translating text into playable action
*Leading with calm, caffeinated focus
*Cheering louder than anyone at curtain-call

Next up: directing "Nicole Clark Is Having a Baby" by Morgan Gould at The Bunbury Theatre, Spring 2026.

Offstage
When brushes are rinsed and cues are set, you’ll find me adventuring with my husband and our three wildly inspiring you adult kids which is proof that life’s greatest masterpieces never hang on a wall.
