Kathy Markley

(USA / Painting)

Artist Kathy Markley, a Delaware native, lives and works in Louisiana. Her imagery is allegorical, metaphorical and interpretive aquatic environments, such as a pond, river, swamp or bog. By depicting these and other wetland elements (pods, lilies, seeds, roots and other plants), she conveys her message that "Every object carries an inner spirit or energy. I am intrigued not so much by what is visible to the eye but by that force which is beneath the surface. It is my intention to help the viewer to become more aware of our earth's beauty and need for preservation and protection."
