A native New Englander who has lived and traveled through the USA, Kathleen Bryce loves to record the diversity of the land and its people. Interpreting the natural world provides her with an unending resource of inspiration. She has recently acquired a BA in art, has begun to exhibit locally, and is represented in private collections. Currently she is a facilitator for figure, portrait, and "plein air"groups. Plein Air, or "painting from life,"
is a pursuit unlike any other painting technique; it challenges artists to concentrate every sensory nerve on the information in front of them. They absorb it all--from sight to sound, from temperature to atmosphere--and then channel those feelings from head to hand, recreating the vision in paints on paper or canvas.
