"I call myself a “Nostalgic Impressionist” as a way of identifying the subjects and style of painting that interest me most. And I am really passionate about plein air painting... allowing myself to get lost in the wonderful process of it all!" About the ArtistKathie resides with her husband and maintains a studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
