“Taos Mountain Meadow” wins
Louisa McElwain Memorial Award
Plein Air Painters of New Mexico annual exhibition,
Sorrel Sky Gallery, Santa Fe, November 2017
"Peonies & Pears on a Rainy Day" 20" x 20"
“As for the rougher stuff, aesthetically speaking, Kathleen Elsey’s painting exerts a bold, almost post-Fauvist-meets-funk touch. “Sunlit Room,” for one, flirts with burly Van Gogh effects, with a vivified palette and brusque brushwork. It’s the mightiest and most memorable piece in the room, says this unavoidably subjective observer.” Josef Woodard, Santa Barbara News Press

“Color is magical and fascinates me. White is distracting and terrifies me. Black is even worse. I paint to share a vision, to make something meaningful for myself."
“Elsey’s paintings are marked by rich colors and dramatic brush strokes that recall Fauvist traditions.”Daedalus Howell,
San Francisco Chronicle
