(Detail) Our Walk to the Beach. Kathryn B. Phillips, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

Artist Kathryn B. Phillips was fortunate to discover early that avenues and inspiration for creativity are endless. She grew up on a farm on the Mississippi River in Arkansas where her father and grandfather raised cotton, soybeans and cattle, and her mother gardened. \u201cShe created winding paths and secret landings throughout our large garden that invited observations of nature, quiet thoughtful moments and elements of surprise and play,\u201d Phillips says of her mother. \u201cHer garden was much like a living painting. Once she was helping me to shape a bed in the garden of our first home. She commented that the rake she was holding for shaping a garden was much like a brush used to paint a painting. She was right!\u201d<\/p>\n

Artistic expression beckoned to Phillips from an early age. \u201cI drew in the dirt, painted on rocks or mixed pastels with buttermilk to paint,\u201d she says. \u201cI enjoyed making things. My mother sought out art teachers in our little town and beyond to give me exposure to new ways to create.\u201d She continued her studies through college, graduating with a BFA in painting, and, as a young mother, attended workshops with her mentor M. Douglas Walton.<\/p>\n

Phillips works in watercolors and finds that painting as a consistent practice keeps her creative rhythm strong. \u201cI like to think that I live creatively,\u201d she says. \u201cWhether I am painting or gardening or setting a table, I am thinking about how it all works together to be pleasing to the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

She finds inspiration in memories and in everyday moments. Her Contraptions<\/em> series grew out of remembering large iron farming machines she saw all around her on the family farm. \u201cI found beauty and order in the design of the different parts\u2014some vintage machines and some modern\u2014it didn\u2019t matter,\u201d she says. \u201cI then gathered the parts that I liked and put them together to form contraptions. The series is meant to be fun and entertaining, and is, for me, a love letter of sorts to my heritage and to my father.\u201d The series is one that fellow artist Victoria Pinney especially admires. \u201cWhat Kathryn is able to do with watercolor almost seems impossible to me,\u201d she says, \u201clarge, lush, colorful florals\u2014and especially her wildly imaginative Contraptions<\/em>: whimsical interpretations of farm equipment. Her work is uniquely her own. I\u2019m her biggest fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Phillips visited France, she connected emotionally with images there, including a French schoolgirl on the metro. \u201cShe had on a tiered skirt, a blouse with a Peter Pan collar, braided pigtails and tiered earrings repeating her skirt\u2019s layers,\u201d Phillips says. \u201cWeeks later, I started a series of that little French girl from my memory. I put her in an upholstered chair and added pattern behind her. She was a wonderful inspiration for a fun series.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a watercolor artist, she notes, her supply needs are few. \u201cOne of the things I love about painting with watercolors is how easily it accommodates a busy lifestyle,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is so convenient to pick up and move, stop and start. Each of my paintings begins the same way. With a large brush loaded with water and a little paint, I loosely block out my composition onto a cheaper paper, cut or torn to the size my painting will be. This first step keeps the composition loose and lays down proportions. The subject is then drawn along these marks with pencil, then marker, so that the drawing can be seen on a light box and drawn onto the watercolor paper. Now I am ready to paint. As far as color goes, I typically start with a restricted palette only to explode with color somewhere in the middle of the painting process. It\u2019s just what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillips moved to Western North Carolina when her husband Doug\u2019s career brought them to Asheville, which she describes as a \u201clittle haven of creatives.\u201d Here she has found not only beauty in the landscape but also a community of diverse thinkers. \u201cMy eyes and heart were opened to new ways of thinking that I had never really experienced,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s strange maybe to say this, but I feel like Asheville is the place where I did most of my adult \u2018growing up.\u2019 Listening to new ideas and becoming good friends with others who didn\u2019t necessarily think like me caused me to examine myself a little closer. I either moved away from some of my thinking or became stronger in my own convictions. Of course, this had an effect on my art. I could become more confident in what and how I would paint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although she was spared Helene\u2019s ravages, her daughter lost her home to flooding. \u201cOur focus became taking care of each other as she and her family were able to reinstate their lives,\u201d Phillips says. \u201cI did not paint during this time; we were all busy with basic living. The bright hope I saw during that time was people caring for other people. It was happening all over the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of her many inspirations, Nature is a constant. \u201cBoth of my parents enjoyed the outdoors,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Mississippi River is lined with miles of tall levees for flood control. Occasionally we would take drives on top of the levees and sometimes even go onto the sandbars next to the river. We searched for driftwood and such treasures before we opened up the picnic baskets. I loved these little adventures. Today, I enjoy small wonders in Nature, like lichen, the grains of wood and seed pods from plants.\u201d<\/p>\n
