Driven by a need for excellence K. systematically studied painting, fi rst in Tulsa and later in San Jose, California. Taken by the realism of the renaissance painters her work became tighter and began to win awards. Working successfully with oil, pencil and pastel she is now focused on oils. Her careful study of past masters blended with the culture of home; Oklahoma, are expressed in her detailed representational work.
