Kay
Vaughan-Bartram
Kay Vaughan-Bartram lives on the Savannah, GA coast where the tides and marshes are never the same, each time unique in color and substance that are featured in her paintings. Not having enough hours to devote time to both painting and golf, Kay gave up painting for a few years. Thanks to her many artist friends, "there's a new excitement in the challenge, especially plein air painting."
"The longer I'm here, my passion for capturing the moods & beauty of coastal southeast Georgia & northeast Florida has gone from the eye of the camera to the flow of an artist's brush. The tides & marshes are never the same - each time unique in color & substance; each time abundant with creatures great & small, and forever pulling me back to paint again."
Studying Fine Arts at the University of Kentucky, she has worked in photojournalism layout design, stage & scenery design, and the Chicago real estate scene.
She is an active member of The Jacksonville Watercolor Society, Amelia Island Art Association, Glynn Art Association on St. Simons Island, Georgia (where Kay was selected for the 2006 Coastal National Juried exhibit), Jekyll Island Arts Association & First Coast Plein Air Painters.
Kay has studied with Mary Borshard, Mari, Hershal Stallard, Pat Weaver, William Maurer, Janet Powers, Tony Van Hasselt, Sue Harden, Perry Austin, Larry Moore, Karen Hewitt Hagan & Ken Wallin.
She exhibits at the Waterwheel Art Gallery on Amelia Island, Florida; Glynn Arts Association at Saint Simons Island, Georgia; Goodyear Cottage at the Jekyll Island Club, Jekyll Island, Georgia; ; and the Eclectic Cottage (Gallery at Redfern) on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
