Kathy Haycock

She lives in Eastern Ontario’s Algonquin wilderness, surrounded by the changing seasons she can paint daily.

She fell in love with plein air oil painting in 1998 after many years as a fiber artist and tapestry weaver. Her favourite ‘studio’ is on location, immersed within the landscape. Anywhere. Being there is everything.
