Kitty Cloud
Artist Statement I have had a life long fascination with nature and enjoy painting my surroundings in all seasons. I grew up in a small town in southwestern New Hampshire and much of my childhood was spent exploring the woods of Peterborough in the shadow of Mount Monadnock. When painting this landscape, a very personal relationship develops which is both intimate and compelling. This experience, plus my desire to describe the beauty of these surroundings and the drama of the changing seasons, draws me back again and again.Biography Working in the colorist tradition of pastel, Kitty Cloud specializes in landscapes of Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and Maine.
