Kathy Ashcroft grew up as a farm girl in a small Northern Utah town. She began drawing when she was 5 years old. She frustrated her school teachers by drawing animals where numbers or sentences should have been. When she was in the 3rd grade she was asked to draw a mural for the hallway of her elementary school, and she was hooked on creating art. Her life has been spent wandering the mountains near her home. Her fascination with wildlife, colors and landscape consumes her. She began her art career shortly after she was married, and successfully divided her time between being a mother, wife and artist. After creating her 4 greatest masterpieces (her 4 sons), she decided it was time to concentrate on her art career. Her subject matter focuses on wildlife, Native Americans, and religious. She continues to receive her education in the outdoors and nature is her instructor. She currently lives in Hyde Park, Utah where she is surrounded by the mountains and swamps that she loves so much. They are her inspiration. Hunting and hiking provide her with the opportunity to observe the subjects found in her paintings. Her artwork can be found in many private collections across the country. "One thing I have come to realize, living in this world as long as I have, we live on an extraordinarily beautiful planet. Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of this, over and over. The creator of this place we call earth gives us gifts everyday, He could have made the sun simply set, instead it sets surrounded by colors that only He has access to. Leaves could just fall off the trees in autumn but He thrills us again with colors from His pallet. |
