My Artistic Process
Artwork by Kathie Gallion
“My painting is done without sketching. I use pounded out bits of flower petals and leaves as the medium to begin each piece. I call it flower abrasion. There is a magic to the process, with a destination that I never could have known in advance. First a stem, or part of a rose petal, is ripped from the plant and laid onto watercolor paper. A good pounding with a hammer releases the natural pigment within the plant onto the paper. Oftentimes it’s a blob of color that bleeds from the plant, or sometimes it spits its’ color outward.
Always, I’m in awe of how these bits of deconstructed plants can change into another beautiful form for me to play with.”

Journey Of One Artist
I began making art again shortly after my father’s passing. I found the process of making art turned my sadness to joy. The outpouring of designs just kept coming. I was working on my dining room table at the time and the art overtook the room.
You Won’t Believe What is on the Backside of This!
This artwork was all about the front side … until it wasn’t. This picture represents a culmination of 16 hours of work with a new material. It was made of pigmented epoxy resin which gives the effect of enamel without the use of high temperatures.
Experiments
Alcohol ink is an intriguing medium I began experimenting with recently. It is very fast drying and works best on slick surfaces. I thought I might try it on canvas with gesso applied to keep the surface non porous.
