For Kathie, a much-loved family photograph of a small boy and his sister, hand-painted in Chicago, at the turn of the 19th century, has turned into a journey of discovery and passion for the nostalgic appeal of overlaying color in layers over a photograph. Covering portions of an underlining black and white photo, enhancing but not changing the original print, creating moods with hints of tint, ultra color or fully painted effects. The drama is added by removing some color and letting the photograph peek through ..... tricking the eye and deceiving the brain.

Starting in 1973, Kathie has continually enhanced her vision though various educational endeavors. First taking courses at the University of Milwaukee, then graduating from MATC, and ending with her third degree from Concordia University. In 1999, Kathie switched her focus to hand colored photography and by 2001 she was one of the first hand colorists to use traditional hand coloring techniques on Black and White digital prints. Kathie’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States, and in portions of Europe and Asia. She has won numerous awards, been published and teaches workshops on hand coloring photographs.
