Working nearly every day in her Rocky Mountain art studio, emerging Colorado oil painter Kathleen Steventon creates uniquely colorful, layered expressions of fauna on canvas. Steventon’s artwork conveys her love of animal spirits, and Colorado’s raw beauty captivates Steventon’s imagination. She strives to capture these feelings in her uniquely expressive style. The artist works solely with a palette knife, and the thick impasto layering of paint takes her haunting imagery into the near abstract.

Steventon’s multi-layered oil paintings have been gaining attention in the southwest art world for the last three years. In April 2007 Steventon’s work was featured in the April edition of Southwest Art magazine’s column “Start Your Collection”. In 2008 the artist was invited to participate in the Colorado Governor’s Invitational Art Show in Loveland, and in 2009 Steventon was again invited to take part in the Western Spirit Art Show and Sale at the Old West Museum in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Steventon is a self-taught painter with a BS degree in Landscape Architecture from Rutgers University. Commissioned paintings are also available by special order through the Blackbird Gallery.
