Kathryn Gentile’s series of ocean paintings begin at the water’s edge. The focus is on the movement and the force of the water to evoke the feel of the ocean breeze and the sound of the surf; the memory of the experience beyond what is seen.

From a distance, her paintings resemble photographs; but close up the hand of the artist is evident, in the carefully executed strokes that give the finished work its energy and vitality.

Kathryn’s art has won awards in the Pastel Journal magazine’s Pastel 100, Art at the Georgia National Fair, the Portrait Society of Atlanta, and the Atlanta Artist’s Club. She is an instructor at John Creek Arts Center in John Creek, Georgia.
