“It is my hope that those who view my work will feel the peace I wish to convey in each painting, and will also recognize the passion I have for the subject matter. If people are able to feel the same joy while looking at my work that I felt creating it for them, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.” - Kathryn Ashcroft

Born and raised in a small farming community in Cache Valley Utah, Kathryn Ashcroft lives and is still living “a life most only dream of.” Her first passion was horses, her second drawing. She considers all animals worthy subjects and when she isn’t drawing them she’s “studying their form, color, and movement.”

In 2004 Ashcroft began working with oils and loves their vibrant, creamy colors. “I find that through oils I can make my paintings come to life.” Although she is known mainly for her wildlife paintings, her work has expanded to include Western genre as well. As a rule, she won’t paint something unless she’s seen it, researched it and studied it herself. “My entire life goes into my paintings, all that I have lived and felt. I can tell when a painting is complete when I have become part of it.”
