"Over the years, my artwork has changed in style but never in content. I love to play with shapes and colors and am comfortable with mixed media. Layering is essential as it is what makes my work rich in content. It amazes me that a painting sometimes reveals a “surprise” symbol or added meaning long after the work has left the easel." -Kathleen Kuchar
Kuchar was raised on a farm in Nebraska. She knew by the age of 4 that she would be an artist. She taught high school art for two years, followed by 34 years of teaching painting and design at Fort Hays State University before retiring in 2001.
