A tribute to a great artist

Last edited Sat Sep 9, 2017, 11:30 AM - Edit history (1)

Kathleen was, in my estimation, in the top tier of digital abstract artists in the world. She never blew her own horn, never tried to market her work. She was an artist, and for her making the art was all that mattered.

I've introduced you to her a bit in my previous posts. Here is a link to a small album of her work that I put up on flikr last night. It has 300 pieces in it, most of which were done this year. That represents 10% of her whole body of work. I've been given the task of curating this enormous collection, and I thought perhaps some of the people here would like to get a glimpse of her true greatness.

Thank you for letting me share so much of our process here over the last few months. Posting here has given me a great sense of release and relief. You have held space for her passing in the most gracious manner possible.

I have to copy and paste the entire link to get it to work. the "@" symbol mucks things up I think.

when I access it from Kathleen's computer, and she's never had a flikr account. I took great pains last night to make sure it would be publicly accessible though that link. I'm not sure what the problem might be. Could you try it again from this link and let me know?

I love her use of blues especially. Lovely, lovely work and she will live forever through these. Will you be making these available for sale?

So I'll be doing various things with them, one of which will be selling prints, and perhaps even high-res digital files. All in due course, of course.
