"The overwhelming danger we all live with, the temporal nature of our being, feels fragile at best, overwhelming most of the time. The process of creation, and expression of deep love and attachment while staying hopeful is only possible for me by making art. I experience lucid dreams and they are carried on in my work as though I am talking to some deep unreachable part of myself. MY work often feels like notes to myself. The freedom to express myself is my lifeline. I have always gone to my sketch book since childhood. I am captivated by the overwhelming beauty and power of the natural world."
Kathleen Sidwell is noted for her investigations into the relationship between man and the land he inhabits. Her work is often abstract and lyrical, sensual and moody with layers of subtle colors and textures. Her travels throughout the world, from China to Nicaragua, Croatia to Budapest, Vienna, Munich, Salzburg and Bavaria, along with her extensive studies in Celtic culture and ritual all play a part in her poetic images of woodland, mountains and seascapes. Her travels in Ireland and Scotland have left an endearing impression on her work, tapping into her Welsh, Irish and Scottish heritage. Her long association with the Gulf Coast, the wetlands, the prairies of Colorado and Kansas, the countryside of France and Germany, and the Caribbean culture of New Orleans and Grand Cayman, have formed a lifelong love affair with habitat, both human and wildlife.
As an artist, Kathleen Sidwell chronicles life: its joys and tragedies. Through her images one experiences the awe and wonder of life's gifts and most astounding miracles. Walk the earth with her in these paintings and prints.
Kathleen Pate was born in Denver, Colorado in 1946. Her great uncle, Maurice Pate, the founder of UNICEF, had a home in Osterville on Cape Cod where she spent her summers. Since those early days, it has been a lifelong dream to one day retire and build a studio on Cape Cod. Her dream came true. The Studio on Slough Road provides fine American contemporary art in a unique, hand-built wooden house set among beautiful gardens, woodlands and oceanscapes.
Kathleen is collected in many national, international and corporate collections. In particular, seventeen of her large scale prints were purchased by the Municipal Government in Cologne, Germany. Her works are shown in juried art gallery shows, both nationally and internationally. Additionally, she is widely celebrated as a curator of collaborative installations and performances.
Her work is carried by Miller White Fine Arts in South Dennis, MA.
