Kay Richards
In my paintings I capture the beauty and feeling of the subject. I started with watercolor, then added collage. My liberal use of vivid colors brings a uniqueness to my paintings which reveals my strong ties and personal affection for the Southwest. My more recent works are acrylic on canvas or board. I have become more contemporary, ranging from impressionism to slightly abstract. But I also continue to paint realism. Bright colors remain a constant in all my work. And I am always experimenting with new techniques and ideas.
I am a Signature Member of the New Mexico Watercolor Society and has served on its board in various positions. I have studied at the La Romita School of Art in Umbria, Italy, and The University of New Mexico, attended workshops and classes taught by local and internationally known artists.
