Kathleen Wiley imparts her love of wildlife and nature through
her ability to capture a dramatically realistic image with just the
right balance between detail and painterly brushwork. Every
painting begins with the inspiration that comes from her personal
travels, experiences or encounters with the subject. While most
of her paintings feature wildlife, she also paints landscapes,
nostalgic farm scenes and garden inspired art. Wiley feels that
a successful painting is not only pleasing to look at, but should
communicate a story to its viewers, something that can be
appreciated upon each viewing.
Growing up on a horse farm in western New York and later
attending the Art institute of Pittsburgh for graphic design laid
the foundation for Wiley’s love of animals and art. Her award-
winning art has been exhibited at numerous galleries and one
woman shows including a solo exhibit at the renowned Roger
Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History in Jamestown, NY.
Wiley has exhibited at select juried art shows including the
Southeastern Wildlife Exposition and the Northeast Wildlife Fine
Art Expo, where she won 1st place in the wildlife category. Her
paintings have appeared on AM Buffalo and Art Talk television
shows as well as in many magazines and newspapers across
the country.
Wiley recently moved to Summerville, SC and has been given
fresh inspiration by her new surroundings. In her own words she
says, “I have lived from coast to coast and in between, but not
until moving here did it feel like I was home.”
