Kathy Sigle

Art has always played an important part in Kathy Sigle’s life. She can remember when at only 6 years old wanting to enter a coloring contest. She was so excited when she won! Always drawing during her school years, she especially enjoyed the time when she worked in pencil on an old woman’s face. Kathy didn’t know the woman but was intrigued by all of her character and wrinkles. When she was in high school, she sold her first drawing. It was a pen and ink of a zebra and a teacher bought it.

While preparing for college, Kathy’s dad asked what she wanted to do as a career. Kathy replied, “All I ever wanted to be was an artist.” She worked for another 10 years in pencil and colored pencil until her mom, who is also an artist, suggested she try watercolor. They worked together on one small painting, and that is all it took. Wow! Watercolor was fun! Now, Kathy specializes in watercolor paintings of western scenes. With over 20 years of painting experience, Kathy produces realistic, detailed pieces through her layering techniques and her exceptional use of color and light. Kathy’s love of the western way of life has inspired her to create paintings incorporating and combining the quick, loose technique with the highly detailed renderings that are achievable in watercolor.

Even now, Kathy realizes the more she works with watercolors, the more she has yet to learn. She has attended numerous professional workshops and has also won awards for “Best of Show” and “People’s Choice.” Her paintings have also had the good fortune of being in collections around the country. Kathy hopes you enjoy her artwork as much as she enjoys painting it!
