Every painting is like a puzzle. You have to look at your subject and see shapes, colors, light and texture and then combine them to create an exciting image. That is what we learn to do in this class.

  • We paint in either oils or acrylics. The students must bring tubes of basic colors, an assortment of brushes, at least one 16”x20” canvas, and a palette for mixing colors. A roll of paper towels is useful.
    For oils also bring solvent and a container for cleaning brushes. Another useful item is alkyd, which makes your oils dry faster.
    For acrylics brings a container for water.

Katchen has traveled to Asia spending time in Taiwan and China. She was welcomed as an artist and appeared on television and in newspapers with local mayors. She was invited to paint the Taiwanese National Opera. She lectured at the University of Shanghai and demonstrated pastel painting at a national trade show.  

She was one of the originators of the annual Garvan Gardens paint-out.  The event hosts 15-25 artists from around the United States for the plein aire event and traveling exhibition.

Katchen’s whimsical drawings of women are seen in all of the art for the play Menopause the Musical.
