Contemporary abstract artist Kathleen Pickering explores the world of fluidity using pigment, paint, alcohol inks and epoxy resin. Conscious layering and manipulation in conjunction with the nature of the chemical reaction between the pigments creates the most beautiful organic abstract pieces that cure with a glass like finish.

Kathleen studied Visual Arts and Design at EIT in Hawke’s Bay and went on to work in graphic design, photography and website design. She now runs her own business called Wild Sparrow and fits my artwork creation around her client work when she has time! Her process urges her to surrender to fluidity, let go of her expectations of the final product and simply enjoy the process of creation in its purest form. The natural flow of the liquid can only be controlled to a certain point after which all control must be relinquished, allowing it to flow as it sees fit, reacting with the pigments around it, following its natural path of gravity, sometimes slowly moving for hours until it cures.
