Kathy Lieb

About:

Kathy Lieb is an artist working in acrylics and mixed media. She works intuitively, without a preconceived notion of where the painting will go. Joan Didion wrote “I write to see what I’m thinking.” Kathy’s philosophy is “I paint to see what I’m feeling.” Her paintings are gestural and painterly with an emphasis on mark making. Her process involves layering, scratching, dragging and dripping paint across the canvas until the meaning is revealed.

Artist Statement:

“My painting process is an act of discovery. I paint to see what it is that I’m feeling. It’s not an intellectual process, but rather a receptive, emotional, gestural process that requires listening and tuning inward. Through abstract painting I hope to enter into relationship with the viewer at a place beyond words and thoughts - heart to heart, soul to soul. ”
