Kathy Beekman
Kathy Beekman has been an artist since the age of four. An extended trip to Mexico in 2000 inspired her present painting technique. “Having run out of white paper that I had been accustomed to using as a canvas I turned to black paper which I had on hand. The application of soft pastel to the black paper caused the color to 'pop.' Now, I use black paper almost exclusively and blend the pastel dust into the paper’s tooth to obtain a clean non-textured look.” Her subject matter, that of landscapes, is inspired by her growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a city surrounded by farming communities and the mountains of Colorado where she now lives. With a contemporary eye and an innate sense of present time and place Beekman draws the viewer into her paintings with the peaceful narratives she creates.
