Kathy Cotter spent her summers as a child in Truro and has maintained a home in Provincetown/Truro for over 40 years. She is a process painter playing with color, textures, and subjects in a way that remain abstract. Cotter strives to have the viewer feel personal connection to the work: a memory, feeling or emotion. She believes that everything, animate or inanimate, has a spirit or essence and her job is to portray that. Painting for her demands experimentation, fearlessness and willingness to try something new. Her exploration and expression is unique. Her work includes oil painting, encaustic, screen printing and combinations thereof. Her work has been shown in Provincetown, Palm Beach, Key West, Miami, and the Hamptons.
"The work of Kathy Cotter is very evocative of life on Cape Cod...and the textural quality of the work is what always seems to excite.” —M Sebastian Arau
