Kathy Coe studied at DuCret School of Art in New Jersey, Pratt Institute and The National Academy of Fine Art and Design in New York, where she worked closely with Dr. Furman Finck, Ronald Sherr, Harvey Dinnerstein and Marybeth Mckenzie.
Over the years, Kathy has mastered a variety of media and methods. Her works are created with oil, graphite and iron gall ink, which is one of the earliest inks used for writing and drawing. She challenges the traditions of classical portraiture with a unique ability to portray her subjects’ personalities. She is also a muralist. Her murals appear in private residences and at the Gild’s Club in New York City, a community-based cancer support service in memory of comedienne, Gilda Radner. Kathy’s work has captured the eyes of many collectors, including Joan Rivers, Gene Wilder and Charles, Prince of Wales. She has won numerous awards for her work, including The Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, The National Academy Lorraine Grace award, The Edward Mooney Traveling Scholarship, The National Academy Annual Helen M. Loggi award, The James Sudan Bronze Medal and The Salmugundi Silver Medal for drawing. |
