About Kathy.

Kathy Evershed in the Artshed studio
For me painting is simply a place of rest and reflection where you are free from the need to understand.”
Kathy Evershed
I love reading people's stories... so here's a bit of mine!

Born in 1973 I grew up in Japan as the child of adventurous missionaries, learnt to speak Japanese and attended boarding school from age 6–18. With a Dutch mother and English father I was what they call a 'Third Culture Kid'. The exposure to many different cultures from an early age made 'defining' myself a particular challenge!

Older, wiser and now calling St Albans, Hertfordshire home I no longer see the need to define who I am or what I do. If I can pinpoint the start of my painting journey I would say that it was on seeing the work of British artist John Miller and his Cornish landscape paintings.

I have taught myself to paint since my early twenties never really imagining that I would one day be able to make it my full-time career. An eternal optimist, I loved what I created even from the start and my next painting will always be my favourite! I read somewhere that 'When you learn to paint you find a constant companion'. I find that painting is endlessly entertaining. 

My painting journey has not led me through galleries and exhibitions but instead along the path of business. With a passion to share my world with others I opened my studio doors to my first art class in 2010.
