Kathryn Henneman, October 2006

Kathryn Henneman, a native of Arizona and current resident of Palm Springs, California, has been creating contemporary abstractions since 1985. Her ethereal style can be found in the mediums of chalk pastel and acrylic on paper, as well as oil on canvas and board.
Henneman continually merges color and special materials to create commanding images. She states, “The power to create art brings me immense pleasure. I learn by doing—by paying attention to the least little expressive detail. I truest my perceptions.” As a consequence, the viewer is often aware of a very genuine sense of struggle, of a contest between the desires and expectations of the painter.
Henneman’s art has been featured in numerous national and international print media including: L.A. Life & Style, Phoenix Home & Garden, Santa Barbara News Press, Arizona Business Journal, including a featured “Artist of the Month” in the October 2001 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine.
