In 2007, she attended a three-day seminar/critique in Los Olivos, California, with OPA master Ted Goerschner. She also began studying in early 2009 with the talented Curt Butler at Gaston School of the Arts and continuing at Butler Studio
The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia accepted her submission “Gros Ventre Aspens” for its annual juried art exhibit, A Natural View, held in March 2009. Again in March 2010, her submission “Jackson Lake Meadow” was accepted and received a purchase award. In September 2009, Kathy was honored to have been chosen from over 1,100 entries to exhibit in Carolinas Got Art!, an exhibition of artwork created by artists from North and South Carolina, held at Atherton Mill in Charlotte. Kathy has been accepted into juried art shows for the Guild of Charlotte Artists and has participated in several non-juried shows for the Guild.

She is a Board Member of the Guild of Charlotte Artists and an active member and participant in Charlotte Plein Air Painters
With a concentration on landscapes of the Virginia and North Carolina mountains, she also draws inspiration from her photos of travels to such places as California, New England, Canada, Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the Grand Tetons Mountains
