An accomplished self
taught artist, Kathy studied in workshops from some of her
watercolor heros--- Carol Riley, Judy Morris, Judy Hoiness. Her
study included works of artists such as Kendall Jubb (color and
pattern) and William Matthews (style and line). A love of Sisters,
ranch life, the Sisters community and the beauty of the Cascade
Mountains are captured in Kathy’s original watercolors. “My work
reflects my environment . . . if it's primrose season . . . they
just appear in the painting. If it's winter and the magpies are
eating the cat food before the cat does . . . there'll be some
magpies hopping off my brush,” stated Kathy Deggendorfer. In 2005,
Kathy was awarded ‘Citizen of the Year’ in Sisters Oregon for her
contributions to the community and the arts. Kathy was commissioned
to produce the original image for the 2007 Sisters Outdoor Quilt
Show™.
High Desert Gallery & Custom Framing of Central Oregon is honored to
represent Kathy Deggendorfer exclusively in Central Oregon.
