Kathleen Fitzpatrick was born and raised in Wisconsin, but traveled widely to NYC, London, and Madrid, among other cosmopolitan cities where she studied art and culture. Subsequently, she studied studio arts and biology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since 2008 she has lived in the Bay Area.  Ever since she was a child she has been curious about nature and science and how everything in the world around us works. She enjoys using unique geometric shapes and bridging her two passions: art and medicine. Kathleen has turned to art as a way to balance her logical scientific side with her creative desire and move into the abstract world. She finds that her art creates an indescribable balance and satisfaction that is not achieved in medicine.

My work is strongly influenced by my career in healthcare and my study of medicine and biology. Throughout my career as a student in the life sciences I frequently saw beautiful patterns and images of various forms of life in nature. The natural patterns and fluidity found in both nature and medicine fascinate me. I enjoy using clean, strong lines with bold colors that invoke a celebratory sense and a feeling of inspiration when viewing my work. I love finding art within science and visualizing it through my paintbrush.
