Born in 1949, Kathy Dench is a native of the pacific northwest. She paints with light, in earnest, seeking to illuminate and elevate what is dark and downcast. She strives to use all the intrinsic beauty of reality as an antidote and counterbalance to the negative things that threaten to defile it. She has exhibitions of her art in California, New York and the northwest. Her works are currently part of many corporate and private collections, including Allstate, Boeing, Microsoft, Restii, Mitsubishi and Nordstrom
