Kathleen Frugé Brown paints not the grand vistas of our Northwest woods, but quiet road and creekside brambles, and the play of light and shadows on them. Her works have a spacial complexity requiring one to pause, and look deeply at the layers of form and light.

Working some in plein air and some in the studio she captures the beauty of everyday places in dramatic paintings that draw the viewer into the image with a sense of recognition and appreciation.

Frugé Brown comments: "One of the things I love about painting in the woods is there’s always another layer of things to be seen, a deeper form to be discovered. The spatial complexity makes me look deeply and work vigorously to capture what I can before the light changes. My hope is that my work gives the viewer a sense of place and moment, and awakens their recognition and love for the natural world around them.”

In recent years, Kathleen’s interest in creating public art has led her to translate her imagery into a variety of other media, including glass mosaic, epoxy enamel, and vitreous enamel on steel and glass.

Her work is held in numerous public collections, and among her awards are a recent Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and a Hauberg Fellowship from Pilchuck Glass School, in aid of her exploration of new media.

Whether creating a public commission or working on a more intimate oil painting, Kathleen brings the same sense of purpose and passion to her work awakening in viewers the feeling of connection and wholeness that she feels when she’s out of doors, painting.
