During her earliest years, Katharine Cartwright's parents encouraged her to engage in the fine arts. Therefore, her earliest desire was to become a painter, and she has spent most of her life engaged as such. Formal academic training in the arts began at Linden Hall School in Pennsylvania, and continued at Kutztown University, The College of Charleston, and the Maryland College Institute of Art. Her work is included in hundreds of private and corporate collections, has won top awards in dozens of international juried exhibitions, and appears in many art publications both here and abroad.
In addition to her life-long career as an artist, Kathy studied the geosciences, and received her Masters Degree from Syracuse University. She then served on the geosciences faculty of
Skidmore College as a Lecturer.
Presently, Kathy works from her studio in Spruce Head, Maine where she resides.
This series of watercolor paintings is inspired by the physical laws that govern our universe, and man's inability to devise the perfect machine run by perpetual motion because of the limitations imposed by our physical laws.
These paintings were created solely from my imagination and intuition without the use of external references or models.

This watercolor series is inspired by my love of music and the instruments that make it. I challenged myself to create designs and colors that also depict the sound that each instrument makes and its personality.
