About  

Kathy Simpson is a Salt lake city artist who paints in oils and uses mixed media, often combining different techniques, to create out of the ordinary pieces of art.

Trained in The layering techniques of the Old Masters, her oil paintings are precise and meticulous. Her mixed media pieces are inquisitive and created to inspire thought.

My art is inspired by the vulnerability and unrest I see in the world today. I believe I am keenly in tune with this energy, in fact, I feel it in my soul. My pieces often start when I sense this unrest in clever song lyrics, visceral passages in books or the in the vitality of an unconventional, found object. I love telling stories with my pieces, and try do so with a spirit of harmony, yet insubordination.  I’m always searching, discovering and dissecting. Because of this, the meaning of my work frequently evolves beyond its original intent, invariably making me merely the baton, and the universe the maestro.
