Katherine McNeill, a dedicated artist best known for her exquisite, vibrant, lively oil paintings in vivid settings, from the outdoors with aspen trees and majestic mountains to splashing seascapes, floral paintings, as well as family homes/estates, close to ones heart. Also she is a portrait artist and a member of the Society of Portrait Artists of America.

Loosing yourself in her realistic paintings, one can almost feel and smell the mountain air, and here the quaking aspens crunch beneath your feet. Having a beautiful mystical feeling to them, once in awhile you will even discover an angel hidden ever so delicately in the trees or maybe even discretely in the clouds.

Born in Vancouver, B.C. Canada she moved to the United States in 1951. Katherine's love for art started at a young age. She began winning competitions for her artistic qualities at age nine. She enjoys making everything she works on a masterpiece to behold.

Moving from Santa Rosa, California in 1978, she and her family settled into the Pikes Peak region of Colorado. Her great love for this state is magnified beautifully in her aspen and mountain paintings.
Katherine is mainly a "self taught" artist. She has had the privilege to study under such notables as Lloyd Thorsten and the late Mickey McGuire. The 19th century landscape artists Moran and Bierstadt have also been a major influence along with portrait artists Michaelangelo, John Singer Sargent. She has studied at the Colorado Institute of Art and the Art's Student League of Denver and presently studying with Charles Cross.
She and her husband travel extensively throughout the mountain states and Europe backpacking and hiking the remote areas to obtain material for her landscapes. Her paintings are relective of realisn and existing scenes. Light and it's unique qualities are the most exciting of natural phenomena. As Katherine recreates this excitement with paint onto canvas, it makes her paintings alive and vibrant.

Her work has been featured in prestigious art exhibitions. Currently her paintings are being collected nationally and internationally.
