Kathleen Ney

Hi, I am Kathleen Ney, a Washington state artist with a background in illustration and design. My professional work has won awards and been shown nationally and internationally for the past 30 years. Recently several of my framed artworks have been used by the Warner Brothers and Summit movie studios.

In developing series of original art, I am motivated by my desire to explore ideas in a visual way. Composition, texture and color as well as cultural references influence the work. On a daily basis, the beauty of the natural world and the complexity of the human experience provide constant inspiration.

Full portfolio on my website. For updates and recent work, find me on facebook and instagram.

Graduated cum laude with a degree in design from Cornish Institute of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. Have worked as a professional artist before and since graduation.
