Kathleen Cook's paintings  in pastel explore a wide array of emotions and mood, some dark and somber, others light and whimsical, but in all we hear the artist's voice. "Come with me into this little world. Let me show you what delights, intrigues, mystifies and moves me ...perhaps we will be kindred spirits!" Nationally known for her beautiful effects of light and color and her sensitive, accurate portrayal of the human face and figure, Kathleen also paints still life, landscape and animal subjects with the same joy and originality. Kathleen's favorite art medium is Pastel. "It's like painting with the stuff of butterfly wings!"
