Kathy Weiss

Kathy Weiss is a North Carolina–based fine artist whose expressive paintings explore the energy, atmosphere, and emotional presence of the natural world. Working primarily in oil, she is drawn to wildlife, birds, horses, and landscapes shaped by light and movement.

Her approach combines confident brushwork, layered color, scraped passages, and selective detail. Rather than pursuing photographic realism, she allows edges to dissolve and surfaces to remain active, creating paintings that feel both immediate and atmospheric. Her lifelong connection to animals and the rural landscape continues to influence her choice of subjects.

Weiss has worked across a range of media throughout her career, including watercolor, acrylic, and drawing. Her current work reflects an ongoing interest in the balance between representation and abstraction—using color, texture, and movement to convey not only what a subject looks like, but also its character and presence.
