KT (Katy Macdonald) has been painting for approximately 53 years. She believes that "art" (painting, drawing, poetry, theatre, music and writing) is a gateway to the essence and the soul. She has always been interested in how a "work of art" can express a previously unknown truth about a story, a scene or an individual. She has been fascinated with understanding people's individual stories through painting.

KT has been married for 25 years, has 2 children (20 years and 14 years), a cat, and a wacky dog. She has lived in South Berkeley, CA for 28 years.

She works currently with mixed media: acrylic, pastel, linoleum block print, colored pencil, paper-mache and found objects. She creates collages on canvas or sometimes on found objects to express a scene, story or individual vision.

All KT's current paintings are now available as Giclee (Zhee – Clay) prints. See individual prices and sizes for each print on the pages of this web site and contact her if you are interested!

To order a commissioned painting, please email her at katy@ktpaintsyourstory.com or call 510 301-9172. Prices vary on all commissions.

KT can incorporate photos, prints, memorabilia, found objects and even poetry into each pesonalized collage painting.
