Kate Starling

Kate was a senior in college, majoring in Biology, when she took her first art class in painting. She loved it. She discovered she was good at it. With encouragement from a great professor she changed her career focus from science to art.
I met Kate when I was invited to join a group of Plein Air painters doing landscapes in Zion National Park. Her talent was obvious. Kate lived in a gorgeous spot near the entrance to Zion with her park ranger husband and her two grade school age kids, Will and Grace. She invited a few of us to dinner and when her kids begged to stay up after their bedtime to join the laughter and conversation, Kate kindly allowed it.
I was so impressed with her painting that I returned the next day and purchased four paintings for Wilcock Gallery. Only one remains. It captures the grandeur of some of Zions majestic red rock mountain formations.
I love this painting and will miss it when it sells. But, I am old and it’s someone else’s turn to enjoy its vibrant colors.
