Katherine Coakley

Miami Beach resident, Katherine Coakley,  has had a lifelong affinity for art.  About 15 years ago she picked up a paintbrush for the first time experimenting with watercolor and acrylics.  Later, she took up oil painting,  concentrating on the landscapes of scenic Cape Ann locales.

In the summer,  Kathy continues her passion for warm weather landscapes, painting in her studio in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

She has studied at the South Florida Art Center in Miami Beach.  In New England Kathy has studied with numerous Cape Ann artists.  One of Kathy’s greatest pleasures is painting the beauty of the world when traveling.

Kathy’s creative process is continually evolving and she enjoys trying new techniques to keep her perspective fresh.  Most recently, Kathy has been experimenting with more abstract designs and is relishing a new found method of expression.

A Colorist at heart and sometimes called a Fauvist, she boldly wields her paint and brush.
