About The Artist

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.
