Florida. She is also an exhibiting artist at the Boca Raton Museum of Art's
"Artist Guild Gallery" in Delray Beach, Florida. Kathryn's work is often

Like many artists, Kathryn has created series and suites of paintings to
compliment each other, or stand alone on their merits. Inspiration for her
work comes from many years of study and diverse life experiences. Kathryn
has been a professional artist for over a decade, and devotes herself full time
to her work. She views art as her life, and her work as her "Children".

Kathryn works in three very different and diverse mediums: painting; collage; and metal fabrication. Though
Kathryn Carlyle makes the process look so easy; behind the apparent spontaneity is careful and meticulous
experimentation. Kathryn has created numerous acclaimed and award winning designs employing techniques
overlapped from each medium.
Earlier in the artist's career, Kathryn lived in Brazil. While in Brazil her interests in precious metals and gem
stones were piqued. It is the early exposure to gem stones that allows Kathryn to harmonize color, texture and
artistic vision as a painter and jewelry artist.
Kathryn returned to the United States, living and working the Bohemian lifestyle for many years in the
artistically rich cities of New York and Chicago. Kathryn honed her artistic skills until her "voice" as an artist
emerged. Having gained the confidence to make art her only career, Kathryn relocated to the tempered and
artistically rich climate of south Florida. It is the more pleasing and sapid lifestyle she has found in Florida
which allows Kathryn's work to continually evolve.
In addition to painting, Kathryn's is an acclaimed jewelry designer. Her designs incorporate rich textured
surfaces, colorful vibrant gem stones, and uniquely tailored precious metals. Kathryn accents many of her
designs with unusual materials in order to create a new look.
In the artist's own view she believes that "the pieces of jewelry I create are meant to be savored and handled.
Each piece I create has a rich heritage in the materials; it is my desire to enhance and embellish the materials
by adding my own unique creativity to their resulting designs."
