KATHRYN (KIT) DALTON
BIOGRAPHY
Founder of Bucks County Fine Arts
Kit Dalton, a native of Bucks County,
Pennsylvania discovered her passion for
creating art at a very early age, and won
numerous contests for her poster design
as early as grade school. At the age of 17,
she won the Village Improvement Art
Scholarship of the Doylestown Hospital,
and attended Bucks County Community
College in the Fine Art program. She
earned her BFA Degree from Tyler School
of Art in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania,
majoring in Graphic Design and Illustration.
She left the field of graphic design in 2005
and returned to her original passion of oil
painting. She is known for her pure
landscapes as well as historic structures of
Bucks County- barns, bridges, covered
bridges and the like. Among her favorite
subject matters are the Delaware River and
Towpath- intrigued by the beauty of the
water, never tires of capturing the qualities
of light and atmosphere. Another favorite
theme is pathways, inspired by their
mysteriousness and symbolism.
Her painting style is Contemporary
Impressionism; with a loose but controlled
feel to her work. In her studio she works
from her own photographs, a jumping off
point, using them strictly for reference.
The finished paintings are developed by
sketching and redesigning the composition
as well as doing numerous value studies of
the subject.
Kit also paints En Plein Air- and sometimes
uses the painting studies to do more
detailed and larger studio versions.
Attracted to warm colors and bright light,
she uses brushes and palette knives to
apply the paint and achieve interesting
textures and varied edges, on linen or
canvas supports.
The most influential artists in her life have
been Richard Schmid, Scott Christensen,
and John F. Carlson. Kit also attends art
workshops with renowned American
painters- most recently having studied
with modern master Hedi Moran;
renowned for her floral still life works,
Bob Rohm, Kenn Bacchaus and Dan
Young; internationally renowned master
American landscape painters.
Her paintings are in many private
collections all across the USA.
