 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Katherine McNeill, a dedicated artist best known for her exquisite, vibrant, lively oil
paintings in vivid settings, from the outdoors with aspen trees and majestic mountains to
splashing seascapes, floral paintings, as well as family homes/estates, close to ones
heart. Also she is a portrait artist and a member of the Society of Portrait Artists of
America.
Loosing yourself in her realistic paintings, one can almost feel and smell the mountain air,
and here the quaking aspens crunch beneath your feet. Having a beautiful mystical
feeling to them, once in awhile you will even discover an angel hidden ever so delicately
in the trees or maybe even discretely in the clouds.
Born in Vancouver, B.C. Canada she moved to the United States in 1951. Katherine's
love for art started at a young age. She began winning competitions for her artistic
qualities at age nine. She enjoys making everything she works on a masterpiece to
behold.
Moving from Santa Rosa, California in 1978, she and her family settled into the Pikes
Peak region of Colorado. Her great love for this state is magnified beautifully in her
aspen and mountain paintings.
Katherine is mainly a "self taught" artist. She has had the privilege to study under such
notables as Lloyd Thorsten and the late Mickey McGuire. The 19th century landscape
artists Moran and Bierstadt have also been a major influence along with portrait artists
Michaelangelo, John Singer Sargent. She has studied at the Colorado Institute of Art
and the Art's Student League of Denver and presently studying with Charles Cross.
She and her husband travel extensively throughout the mountain states and Europe
backpacking and hiking the remote areas to obtain material for her landscapes. Her
paintings are relective of realisn and existing scenes. Light and it's unique qualities are
the most exciting of natural phenomena. As Katherine recreates this excitement with
paint onto canvas, it makes her paintings alive and vibrant.
Her work has been featured in prestigious art exhibitions. Currently her paintings are
being collected nationally and internationally.
