The Mountlake Terrace Arts Advisory Commission presents the Kathy Tuura Exhibit at the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Avenue W.

Artist Statement:
I have been an artist my entire life. After exploring many mediums: oil painting, tole and rosemaling painting on wood, mixed media, encaustic, quilting, felting recycled wool, and calligraphy; I am now exploring water color.

In 2018, I was invited to enter the Eileen Fisher Chop challenge. The project was to use as many scrap pieces from Eileen Fisher products to create a distinct piece of art. I was honored when the quilt I made sold during the art event. All proceeds went to fund art education in the area.

My minor in college was Art for Elementary teaching and I taught art for several years post college. After leaving the teaching field I became a sales representative for many local artists. Because of my background it helped me understand and better promote their art.

I am guided by color and spontaneity.

Water color is a wonderful medium. I can’t stop painting.

Gallery North small works show 2020 Honorable Mention.
