Galerie Old Chelsea is pleased to feature local artist Kathryn Sauvé, an accomplished abstract artist known for her evocative use of acrylics and mixed media as she unveils her latest collection of contemporary landscapes.

"I am inspired by the places that hold significance in our hearts and memories," Kathryn explains. "The poetry of these places, whether real or imagined, serves as a wellspring of creativity for me."

Central to Kathryn’s creative process is spontaneity and exploration, allowing each artwork to unfold organically through a playful interaction with paint and materials.
