Kathleen Kilchenmann

Kathleen Kilchenmann is a self-taught artist with roots in Zurich who works primarily with painting, collage, and natural materials. Her expressive mixed media technique combines birch bark, corn husks, straw, and other found objects with intensely colored paintings; the integration of dried plants and experimental round canvases characterizes her nature-inspired series. Her works convey a deep, elemental power, bear witness to becoming, change, and the emotional energy of nature, and allow viewers to experience an intense, sensual connection with the natural world.
