Kate Hewitt
I am Kate Hewitt, wanna be artist, tennis pro, cross country big truck driver and hotel concierge. Instead I graduated from the Ohio State University College of Medicine, practiced OBGYN for about 40 years, and married my tennis pro. Now I am privileged to pursue one of my “wanna be’s”.
I paint in watercolor and occasionally gouache, also under the fine tutelage of artist Ken Buck. I find myself attracted to images of animals, architecture, stone sculpture, and anything in decay- such as rusty frying pans, browning leaves, cracks and wrinkles etc. I love the outdoors, so those landscape images sneak into my paintings too. I hope to continue to improve my plein air painting as well.
Obviously, my formal painting instruction is limited but I come from a line of strong women with a serious interest in art often placed secondary to the needs of family. My great grandmother began drawing and painting when she got to the nursing home in her 90’s, always images of rural Kentucky. Her work unintentionally resembles Grandma Moses. Fast forward it’s my turn now! And I thoroughly enjoy every minute with a pencil or brush in my hand.
