There are no ordinary moments in our life and that’s what I try to paint.
KATHLEEN KEIFER
Kathleen Keifer’s inspirations are the color and luminosity of the Southern California coastline and its unique beach culture. She focuses on time, timelessness and the seasons in an exploration of coastal icons. Her paintings invite the viewer to consider the interaction of memory and seasons, thus evoking the intricate relationship between man, nature, and time. She infuses each work with a sentiment of nostalgia, appealing to the viewer’s aesthetic and emotional sensibility.
Born and raised in Chicago, Keifer is a modern landscape impressionist who studied at St. Mary’s College and the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as privately with noted artists Tony Fitzpatrick and Roderick Guthrie. She currently lives in Southern California.
