Kathy Wood: Owasso, Oklahoma; Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my work. I am a happy soul. I seek out the things and people that inspire me. I constantly reinvent myself. Earlier in life as a mother, as a nurse, as a missionary, as a tree farmer, as a flower grower, etc. Now, I finally have time for my passion, painting. My approach to art is non-traditional. I do not attempt to follow the traditional “rules” of art, but rather choose to create with as few limitations as possible. My paintings sometimes contain bold, bright colors and often convey portraits,and landscape, wildlife and still life. I normally choose the subject according to how it makes me feel.My primary goal is to paint for self-expression and inspiration. In a society that is increasingly fast paced and stressful, art provides a way for me to relax and rejuvenate. It also provides a way for me to practice the important skill of stopping to appreciate the good things in life. Seeing things with the “eye of an artist” makes it easy to see beauty where others may miss it. As a result, I strive for all of my work to convey positive emotions and invoke an uplifting response in the viewer.
