KATHY A. FLOOD

I am a visual 2-D artist living and working in Chapel Hill, NC.  I mainly draw in graphite and paint in watercolor.

In my view, all faces are beautiful. Whether it's a small child with creamy, smooth skin and sparkling eyes, an aged person showing the wrinkles of a lifetime, or someone's furry best friend, I enjoy every minute of representing their spirit on paper. Each subject characterizes a period in time and a personality so unique.

Teaching is another one of my passions. I love to share my artsy skills and thought process with children and adults alike. Watching the development of a student is my greatest reward.  From ages 6 – 80+, each person brings their own style and gifts.  It gives me great joy to help students achieve their goals, whether it be to make a good drawing/painting or to just enjoy the process.

My paintings and drawings of people and pets can be found in numerous private collections throughout the east coast.
