Kathy Hatt is a  native of Arizona born in the small mining town of Miami.   Not having any formal art training I  have worked hard to develop my own style of expressing myself on  canvas. I have learned by studying the  technique of the Old Masters way of building color through many thin layers of glazes to create a  highly detailed  realistic composition and a feeling of the emotion.  I work in my studio from reference photo's I take myself.  My paintings of Apache and Navajo girls are painted with a enormous amount of detail to provide a glimpse into the subject's inner spirit  to create a feeling of the motion inspired by the American Indian dance.  In my landscapes I try to capture the uniqueness and beauty of every leaf,  flower,  blade of grass or needle on a pine tree.
