I am a retired doctor and now a fulltime artist and member of the Marin Open Studios Board of Directors in Marin County, CA.
I just wanted to say that I was at my doctor's office today and noticed Kathleen's paintings. They stopped me in my tracks. I immediately looked to see who did them since I didn't recognize the artist. I found out through Googling that Kathleen had passed away. I just wanted those who care to know that she has done what all artists want to do, live on in her art. It is absolutely beautiful.
