Kathy Doley
I spent my childhood and adolescence in the mid north of South Australia. Playing in the bush and by the creek, watching ants and using my imagination was the start of inspiration and appreciation for nature. My eldest sister took me to an oil painting lesson when I was 15, it was here I acquired a love for painting. I have honed my skills over the years with formal and informal study and am currently studying towards a Bachelor in Visual Arts.
I have a passion to explore different genres and mediums, painting predominantly with oil and acrylic. My subject and style are varied, combining a technical approach towards experimental. Bigger the better, I enjoy big and colourful. Painting brings joy and I aspire to portray this in my work.
I am a tutor at Splashout Art School and my art practice is enriched by sharing whether it is a physical piece of art or facilitating lessons or workshops. I have participated in solo, joint and group exhibitions and my art is held in private collections locally and interstate.
