Kathy Ready is a contemporary artist based in New Plymouth. She takes inspiration from her physical and emotional environment to produce colourful abstract oil paintings.

Kathy often uses charcoal, chalk and pencil in her work, enjoying the freedom that drawing back into a painting can bring. Text is also a common feature, used to enhance the pictorial space, express a fleeting thought, or give a pointer to what the work is about.

Kathy has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (Honours) and has sold her paintings in both New Zealand and Australia.
