Kathryn
A. Wallace's re-entry into the art world occurred only a few years
ago, reflecting an increased desire for fun and discovery. Art
was a "first love" from her youth. While majoring in
French and German at college in Texas, she squeezed in as many
art courses as she could, simply because they were there, however,
her first career was teaching French at the university level.
After
returning to school for an MBA, Kathy embarked on her second career
in business management. Studying business was like "learning
a new language" for her. She became a well-known name throughout
the state of Colorado for her work in small business development,
banking management, and through her work at the Governor's Office,
as well as through service on numerous community and statewide
boards.
Ceramics,
an early passion from Kathy's college years, was her first step
to reconnecting with a more tactile way to express creativity.
She spent a year working full-time with a local potter, then launched
her own home-based studio. WallaceVISION and her third career
as an artist took off. One thing led to another, and Kathy has
added monotype printing and collage work to her repertoire.
Through
study with teachers such as Gwen Fox (painting, design) and Jeremiah
Houck (ceramics, raku), both in Colorado Springs, CO, and Michael
Vigil (printmaking), Taos, NM, she continues to discover new avenues
for visual expression. Her art friends, the Rock Creek Canyon
Art Group, also provide support. Her work has shown in the Pikes
Peak region, Denver and Taos.

In addition, she exhibits at various promotional/sales

has added impetus to her art sales and marketing efforts, moving
her forward rapidly in the art world as she had moved in the business
world.
