Autumn in the northwest often includes rainy, grey days.  It’s probably one reason why so many people are coffee addicts in this area of the country!

Yet, there’s an antidote to all this dreariness. Drop by the University Business Center to see a solo exhibit of 20 of my artworks in mixed media, collage, watercolor, and acrylics.
​

• Bright and bold colors!
• Cheerful themes!
• Unique inspirations!

People often tell me my art makes them feel happy. 

The University Business Center is located at 4500 9th Avenue NE, Suite 300 in Seattle, WA. My art is in the main reception area from October 16 through December 7, 2017. 

Hours for viewing are Monday to Friday from 9AM to 5PM.

In 2017, chosen poems will appear in the program’s web collection, be highlighted on a specific day on the web (mine will appear on October 31, 2017), remain in the collection forever, and a limited number will appear on Metro buses.  

In April, a launch party for the selected poems was held at the Moore Theatre in downtown Seattle.

Below is my winning entry.

In addition, Seattle University’s Vachon Gallery will be exhibiting art from February 16 to February 25 that “explicitly explore[s] the meaning of life.” This exhibit is “augmented with several regionally and nationally renowned artists who are also authors.”

I’m excited to share that my large collage titled, Broadway at Times Square, was juried into the Search for Meaning Art Exhibit!

The Vachon Gallery is open Monday to Friday, 8:30AM to 4:30PM and will be open all day on Saturday, February 25 to coincide with the Search for Meaning Festival. 

Information on the art exhibit can be found here. 

Information on each of the artists can be found here.

Be sure to go as it’s a unique and wonderful festival that has much to delight your mind, heart, and spirit!

This year, Cancer Lifeline contacted the Northwest Collage Society (NWCS) about partnering together for an art show. ​

​This collaboration entailed NWCS members volunteering to read short prose and poem pieces by Cancer Lifeline writing class participants and choosing one to create an inspired collage.

The art show, entitled “Read Between The Lines,” was a great success with 42 written pieces to select from and over 30 NWCS members deciding to collaborate.

I chose Judy Slonicker’s “Now” a cheering poem highlighting the beauty of nature and which also validated my proclivity for “letting curiosity take over” and doing what I love instead of housework.

​Hence, my collage “Let’s Celebrate! (Housework Can Wait)" includes a huge cupcake, confetti, and vacuum cleaners with the no symbol of red line/red circle over them.

And, of course, because I committed to creating the collage I had one more reason to let my own housework wait!

Don't miss this show at Cancer Lifeline in Seattle, WA.  It includes a great diversity of beautiful collage and powerfully written pieces.

The show runs from October 27 to December 16, 2016.

​YEA!  On February 27, 2016, Seattle University is again holding the unique Search for Meaning Book Festival.  

This successful and engaging book festival has been going strong since 2009.

This year, over 50 authors will be presenting at longer key-note sessions as well as at shorter seminars.  

Presenting authors include the more famous such as Tracy Kidder, Julia Cameron, and Nancy Pearl and many others who are not so well known, but who have interesting and sometimes provocative information to share. 

​You can buy presenting authors' books right at the event—booksellers include Elliott Bay Book Company and Seattle University Bookstore.

I’ve attended this event for two years in a row and I’m looking forward to this year’s sessions.

An extra bonus is an art exhibit exploring the theme of the meaning of life.

You can’t beat the amazingly inexpensive price of 10 bucks to register for this event.

So be sure to attend and open the doors to more worlds and a variety of perspectives.

Author and artist, Kathryn V. White's most recent book, Rumble Tumble Joy: A Journey for Healing, Inspiration, and Wholeness, is a finalist in the 2014 Wishing Shelf Book Awards.  Her collage, "The Joyful Workings of the Faithfully Busy Mind" has been juried into a collage exhibit at the Washington State Convention Center running through March 28, 2016.  Find out more at: www.kathrynVwhite.com

It's been a great year for expressing myself, including creating a dream catcher, magic mojo hands, a free-form beaded wire basket, paintings, collage, and other art.

I’ve shared my experience of getting through an extended challenging period in my life and how by focusing on joy during that time, more joy did come into to my life, building bit by bit and blossoming in some very unexpected and powerful ways.

​This sharing was videotaped and now people across the world have access to my story as well as the stories of many others.  To hear more, please click here or on the below image.

​In addition, my art has begun to reach more people by being juried into exhibits and through prints being sold on Imagekind.com. Approximately ten years ago, I fought the impulse to paint (which is a story itself) and then later gave into its unyielding call.  Now, it's wonderful to see the fruition of the seeds planted and nurtured over the long-term.  I’m curious to see where this growth will lead me.

As I say goodbye to 2015 and hello to 2016, I’m excited about what the future brings—through my own volition as well as through synchronicity.

As part of my explorations, I’ve been talking with people about possible opportunities and researching and signing up for classes for the coming year.  

I’ll be studying Buddhism, using writing to continue to awaken to the wisdom contained in my spiritual journey, doing process painting, delving more deeply into collage, and expanding my capacity to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Life is a journey—made all the more rich by awareness, intention, releasing that which no longer serves one well, and continual acceptance of a greater divine harmony working behind the scenes.  This acceptance can be hard and often requires faith—a muscle my life has been giving me plenty of opportunities to build!

May 2016 be an expansive year of all that is divinely good for you, our planet, and other beings.  Walk towards that good, embrace it, and share it.
​
Namaste.

In 2015, Mutual of Omaha staff traveled the USA in a 34-foot long, super-cool, silver bullet Airstream trailer to talk with folks across the nation about their “aha” moments.

I was fortunate to be able to meet up with this talented crew.
