Kate McClure is an artist working in Lynchburg, VA. She uses oil paint, cold wax medium and pigment sticks to create her abstract paintings. Quirky shapes, motifs, and patterns are characteristic features of her work, as well as interesting and unique color combinations. Her process involves layering shapes and contrasting colors that play off each other, then editing until the pieces come together. A native Tennessean and Virginia transplant, Kate received a BFA in Fine Art from Auburn University. She continued her studies at the Florence Academy of Art. Kate has been a full-time portrait artist for over a decade, and in 2019 she expanded her practice to include original artwork.
