Painting over 35 years, Kathy Briggs Mere lives in Lafayette, Louisiana. Her abstracts, portraits, figurative and landscape subject matter all emphasize Color, Emotion and Movement often reminiscent of the reflective qualities of water. Her current series is the Travels of the Soul Series which represents both physical and metaphorical travel for the artist. Her desire is for the viewer to feel the joy she experiences when she observes the world around her. Kathy paints a Pop of Happiness, Hope and Beauty highlighting the “Glimmers” of life sometimes with a soulful quality or a touch of whimsy. Her chosen mediums are varied from water-based to oil-based media, with her trademark stamp inclusion or other collage element. Her works are collected locally and throughout the states. She is represented by Basin Arts, NuNu’s Art Collective and has an open studio/gallery at 551 Rue Jefferson, Ste. R2 within the Sans Souci Fine Arts Craft Gallery.
