Kathi KuchlerI began painting at the age of 14 in oils and then turned to watercolors because I love the fact that I can take my small round paint palette wherever I go.  I received my certification as a Botanical Watercolorist and Illustrator through the Morton Arboretum in 2015.  It was in my classes at the Arboretum that I started drawing with colored pencils, and then recently started working in water soluble oils. I also make jewelry by inserting miniature prints of my paintings into cabochon pendants, embellishing and adding vintage-like charms.  I have also discovered that I love making upcycling silk scarves with Nuna Felting.
