About the artists:

Left Coast
Watercolor by Kathy Collins

Kathy Collins grew up in the Pacific Northwest and expresses her appreciation of the area’s natural beauty through her impressionistic watercolors.

She uses a rapid process technique for dramatic high contrast paintings, charging in color and mixing flowing wet paint right on the paper to achieve intense dark values while preserving white spaces.

Kathy’s award-winning paintings have been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine, American Artist, The Artist’s Magazine, the Splash-Best of Watercolor series, and “100 Artists of the Northwest.”

A Signature Member of the American Watercolor Society, the Northwest Watercolor Society, and Women Painters of Washington, Kathy teaches watercolor classes and workshops at Tsuga Fine Art in Bothell, Washington.

“Most of my inspiration comes from my bicycle trips around Puget Sound or further afield. I’ll stop and pull out a sketchbook or snap a photo, then paint the scene in watercolor back in my studio.”
