 Great
River Arts Association member and Little Falls
resident, Kathy Braud will be showing a selection
of her recent watercolors at the Sherburne County
Government Center, Elk River, September 6th
through October 5th. She also has several entries
on display at the US Bank Art Exhibit Sept.
18 – Oct 18, and hopes to be included
in the People for the Steeple exhibit at the
Paramount Arts District Oct 2 – Nov 9,
both exhibits are in downtown St. Cloud.
Kathy Braud's watercolors explore the vibrant
boundary between realism and abstraction.
Her dramatic value contrasts add an air of
mystery to her work. Floral still life, landscapes,
figurative and action subjects are all explored
with equal aplomb.
She is a signature member of Red River Watercolor
Society, and Vice President and Workshop Chair
of Central Minnesota Watercolorists. She is
also a member of Minnesota Watercolor Society,
Northstar Watercolor Society, Artists of Minnesota,
Artists del Norte, The Crossing Arts Alliance
and others.
Ms. Braud also teaches watercolor regionally
and taught at one summer Montana Art Experience
workshop near Glacier National Park. She just
attended an Artist Paint Out for a week near
Onamia, and she is interested in bringing
artists together to learn and grow.
Braud is the recipient of Third Place at the
2007 Minnesota State Fair Fine Art Exhibition
for her watercolor Park Trails. She has also
been the recipient of four Five Wings McKnight
Individual Artist Grants and is on the Minnesota
Arts Board “Arts in Education”
Roster 2007-2008.
