Salt Lake City artist Kathy Simpson masterfully bridges classical tradition and modern experimentation. Trained in the precise layering techniques of the Old Masters, her oil paintings are strikingly meticulous. This traditional expertise anchors her artistic voice, allowing her to confidently branch into inquisitive, thought-provoking mixed media pieces that challenge the imagination.

“My art is inspired by the unrest I see in the world today. I feel this collective energy in my soul and channel it into physical form, drawing inspiration from clever song lyrics, visceral literature or in the raw vitality of a found object. Each piece tells a story driven by a spirit of orthodoxy and dissent as I continually uncover and interpret the world around me.  As my work evolves, its meaning transcends my original intent—proving I am simply the baton, and the universe is the maestro.
