Painting helps Kittie realize her life mission: “To learn and grow every day and help others do the same.” Since 1996, Kittie  has encouraged friends and colleagues to experiment with their artistic abilities and find their  own creative “voices.”  Through the whimsical use of color, shape, texture, and pattern, her paintings capture a world within. Each of Kittie’s paintings provides a glimpse of her personal journey: imagination, insights, and breakthroughs.  She hopes her paintings touch the hearts and souls of those who are exploring themselves.
