KATHY  CRAWSHAY

Kathy Crawshay draws us into the world of her characters and fills us with fond memories of a happy childhood. A graduate of Simon Fraser University in Canada and Gonzaga University in USA, Crawshay has been exhibiting her work since 2008. She currently lives and paints full-time on the side of Horse Lake in British Columbia, Canada.

At a very young age, Crawshay discovered an interest in the arts. The artist actually is indebted to her parents, her father a woodworker and her mother a potter for passing on their passion for art.

Crawshay believes that her most spontaneous paintings are her best. Her paintings filled with energy and movement then combined with strength and gentleness contributes to vibrant and exciting compositions! Her interest in painting is also driven by her passion to nature. The children in her paintings bring joy while often her mountains work to anchor the images most effectively.

Her work conveys to everyone the flavour of living and a fresh breath of creativity.
