First Friday Art Walk – July 2023

Discover Art Downtown with our Artist Reception at NexLynx Gallery of Arts, Friday July 7th from 5pm to 8pm. View the variety of subject matter and mediums by Kathy Colon, during our First Friday Art Walk.

You are not seeing double! Come view the striking artwork of Kansas City artist, Kathy Colon, the identical twin sister of our recent June featured artist, Karen White. Kathy has been a featured artist for many organizations throughout Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, and Texas.

Sharing the same artistic ability with her twin sister, Kathy has been immersing herself in art for decades, since her first introduction to Crayola Crayons. She believes that “Art” is an emotional expression that can be displayed for people to use their senses to identify with “Art”. Primarily working with pastels, color pencils, acrylic, oil and watercolors. Her artwork includes pyrography, combining woodburning with acrylic paint.

Understanding that giving back to the community is important, Kathy shares her passion and love of art by participating in community service opportunities with organizations such as United Way and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce. In 2005, she was commissioned by the Texas State Fair to airbrush on a canvas during the day of the event.

Capturing a moment in time, that could spark the emotions and touch the hearts of people, Kathy’s creations will enable you to see artwork through her own eyes. You can read more about Kathy at tryvisions.com.
