Kathleen Deyo.
Painter, muralist, illustrator, and teacher, from a NY Times-featured decorative painting career to oils, watercolors, and sumi-e on Long Island's North Shore.
“I am happy when I have a project involving my imagination.”
“In my life I’ve been a muralist and an illustrator, and a teacher. I have a book for kids on YouTube: ‘Balaam Speaks Up’ and am in the process of publishing a kids book on nightmares which actually is for people of all ages. I do art because it bottles up in me and I have to let it out.”
“I work in a variety of styles and media. At present I am having shows in local libraries of ink on silk paintings. My work has appeared in the ‘NY Times’ and a few magazines and local papers recently on the north shore of Long Island where I presently live. I believe in bringing beauty into the world and sharing it as a way of celebrating life.”
