BIOGRAPHY OF
KATHRYN DALTON

Kathryn Dalton, a Bucks County
“native” has been drawing and painting
her entire life. As a young student in
Central Bucks, she earned prizes and
awards for posters and paintings early
on in her art studies. She won a
scholarship from The Village
Improvement Association of
Doylestown Hospital for her paintings,
which then led her to study fine art at
the Hicks Art Center- of Bucks County
Community College where she earned
her Associates of Fine Art Degree -
taught by artists such as Paul Keene,
Emmet Gowen, and Jack Gevins. From
there Kathryn transferred to Penn
State University, at University Park
where she took printmaking and
photography courses. She transferred
to Tyler School of Art in Elkins Park to
experience a more intensive art course
in a more serene setting, and finished
her major course of study. While at
Tyler she earned her Bachelors Degree
in Illustration and Graphic Design.
She studied with Stanislaw Zagorski
and Joseph Scorsone at Tyler.

After college she worked in local art
and advertising studios producing
illustrations, logos, and ads for a
variety of clients- freelancing and in-
house.
Later she opened her own firm and
continued to produce logos and designs,
and added promotional products and
custom product designs to her list of
services. Her clients included Burpee
Seeds, Penn Engineering, Aaon Corp.,
Arm and Hammer, and others. She
designed logos and signage for
companies including North Star Gallery
of Freehold, N.J.- a signature gallery of
Thomas Kinkade. The flexibility of
being her own boss allowed her to raise
her family and take care of the large
homestead property in Buckingham.

Missing the interaction of other artists
and fine arts, Kathryn chose to work in
Bucks County galleries as an art
consultant and corporate liaison.
Inspired by her artist friends Kathryn
has been painting in oils for the past
several years. Her paintings are of
local landscapes and historic places-
many of them are of river and canal
settings, and along River Road. Her
genre is Bucks County Impressionism-
influenced by the art of Redfield ,Nuse,
and Baum, among other favorites of
the New Hope School- as well as her
friend and painting mentor
Christopher Willett.

She captures the beauty and feeling of
the place that she chooses for her
subject- working in oil on canvas or
linen. Her goal is less about the literal
translation of a place than the
emotional response to the light,
shapes and colors. She prefers the
painting surface of linen because of the
fine texture of the weave and the
surface response to the paint and brush.
Her color palette is of purples, pinks,
blues and greens- jewel tones on tinted
background.

In 2007 she designed and launched
Bucks County Fine Arts Gallery- a web
based art gallery that represents Bucks
County artists, and exhibits at local
businesses and events.
