Kathy E. Walker — Biography Kathy E. Walker has had a passion for horses her entire life. When you own one of Kathy’s paintings, you know that a great deal of effort went into making sure the horses are painted accurately; that the color palette is appealing; and that the character of the horse is illustrated. Kathy enjoys her professional graphic design and web design, and has also greatly enjoyed having the opportunity of riding and training her horses. She brings these two facets of her life into her paintings. “My interaction and relationship with my horses has brought an authenticity to my paintings that I would not have otherwise. I often paint mare and foal paintings. I’m intrigued by the creation of a new life and the protective and loving nature of the mother mare.” Kathy is always looking for photographic opportunities involving horses. She visits horse breeding ranches, rodeos, horse shows, and arenas looking for great shots of people interacting with horses. Using these photos for reference, she creates her paintings. Another facet of Kathy's art is happening. She was able to attend a Pow Wow where photography was allowed. She became facsinated with the individual designs, vibrant colors and patterns that each dancer had created with their dance costumes. Kathy is now working on a series of paintings of these Native Americans. Kathy E. Walker
