Kate Landishaw was a the founding Member of the WCA in, not only Georgia but in North Carolina as well. She has been juried into several WCA Shows in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. She is a winner of awards and an avid artist. While concentrating on her business career, she would put up a temporary studio, even in the kitchen, to paint and create. Her father, an artist and her mother, a poet, gave her her first art lesson at age eight. 


Brambled Sky (PARC Series)
Mixed Media
Trees are the main theme in her work. In these art there is atmosphere of melancholy and memory. Concentrating on the bare branches and trunks relay the strong earthiness and near immortality of the trees. The lines of the branches and the stark colors create an abstraction.

“IN THE PARC SERIES I USE INKS, WATERCOLORS AND ACRYLICS (AND THE OCCASIONAL CRAYON) ON VARIOUS SUBSTRATES, CREATING DRAWINGS TO CONVEY A FEELING – PERHAPS INVOKE A MEMORY – OF THE SOARING AND SHELTERING NATURE OF TREES.” (Art and Light)
