KAY ELLERMANN Being
a native of Kingman, Arizona, Kay Ellermann's love for the southwest
and her growing fascination for the historical legacy
of its land and people have added an impelling new dimension to her
paintings.
Deeply moved by the spiritual heritage of the American Indians, Kay's realistic still lifes of Indian pottery and baskets, offer a revealing glimpse into the inherent esthetics of these time honored people. Along with Southwest history, Kay decided to express on canvas her love of nature and wildlife which covers flowers, animals and birds. The birds in Kay's paintings predominate. She wants the subject to receive full attention, the background does not distract from the birds. They are sharp with great detail and seem to jump off the canvas. This versatile artist works in oils, acrylics, pen and ink, charcoal, pastels and colored pencils. She is a charter member of the Colored Pencil Society of America and the Arizona Chapter of Colored Pencil. Kay does some medical and scientific illustrating through the Guild of Natural Scientific Illustrators based in Washington, D.C. and is historian and past president of the Mohave Artists and Craftsmen's Guild of Kingman, Arizona. Kay works out of her home studio which is open on an appointment basis. Kay's
