ABOUT KATHLEEN

Kathleen Saunders (b. Fairfax VA) works in a wide spectrum of media, often using the landscape as a vehicle to explore one's continuous quest for joy among a spectrum of loss, grief, absurdity, and ecstasy. With this in mind, she ultimately questions what it means for us to find satisfaction and contentment in life, particular against the dwindling American Dream.

 

Kathleen lives in Charleston, SC where she can be found gardening, sewing, inventing new cocktails and making more art. She works full-time as a captain, specializing in sailing yachts. Sail with her!
