About the Artist

Award winning Michigan artist, Kathleen Kalinowski has been painting with pastel for the past thirty years. She has taught pastel and oil in the studio and en plein air. Her work is represented by her website and three Michigan galleries.

Known for her vibrant impressionistic landscapes, Kalinowski searches for scenes that spark her interest, usually ones that present a challenge or a visual problem to solve. Although she enjoys broad vistas like the Lake Michigan shoreline, she also explores more intimate settings that remind her of her childhood ––a time when she spent hours outside playing in the woods and the small creek that ran through her family’s backyard.
