Kathleen Lolley (born 1978 in Marshfield, Wisconsin) moved to Kentucky nine months after her birth. She spent her childhood split between Louisville, KY and Pittsburgh, PA. Storytelling plays a prominent role in her work. Critters try to break the spell of day to day heartbreak and affectionate animals offer subtle rituals. Kathleen's artwork explores themes of nature, fantasy & personal history. She currently resides in Louisville where she spends her time making crafts, comics and fine art.
