A chef by artist Carol Katchen.
For 27 years the art of Carole Katchen was featured in major galleries in Hot Springs. Now, after a two-year absence, Katchen will be returning to Arkansas for “The Last Dance,” an exhibit highlighting her etchings and oil paintings of chefs, society, musicians, and trips to Africa.
Her art has shown in galleries and museums throughout the U.S., China, Taiwan, and South America. She received awards from the Pastel Society of America, Women in Design in Los Angeles, U. S. Dept. of Labor, International Conference on Public Art in Taiwan, and many more.
“I began my career when feminism was at its peak, painting stark, angry women. Critics at that time praised my work, saying my paintings were ‘as strong as a man’s,” stated Katchen. “Since then I have learned to be more open and accepting of the world. I paint everything I see around me and try to bring joy to every piece and everyone who sees them. I am excited about returning to Hot Springs and hope to see many of my friends and collectors.”
The public is invited to attend “The Last Dance” Celebration for lifetime works by Carol Katchen which will be held during Gallery Walk at Central Theatre, November 3, 3 PM – 11 PM at 1008 Central Avenue. One day only. All art must go!
