She has garnered many awards in International, National, and Local Exhibitions and serves on the LWS Board of Directors as the Installations Chair.

Kathy says “My life of art spans from age 7 drawing horses, paper dolls and their clothes, to drawing caricatures for extra spending money at Miss. St. College for Women (now MUW, while studying Commercial Art), to jurying and judging national, regional, and area shows”.

She has conducted numerous workshops over the years, including: “Composition & Design”, “Masking & Pouring in Transparent Watercolor”,“Painting A Masterpiece Using Light & Shadow”, “Creative Corrections & Solutions”, “Incorporating Gold into Watercolor Paintings”  & “Marketing Your Art on A Shoestring Budget”. “My love is painting landscapes, particularly the swamps and massive oak trees in Louisiana, but I can also get lost in a portrait or an animal painting.”

Kathy is honored to be included in the following books: “The Artistic Touch 4 & 5 & 6” by Chris Unwin, 2010, 2012 & 2014;  “Confident Color:  An Artist’s Guide to Harmony, Contrast and Unity”  by Nita Leland 2008; “Splash 8: Watercolor Discoveries” by Rachel Wolf, 2004; and “Best of Watercolor: Painting Light And Shadow” by Betty Lou Schlemm & Sara Doherty; and an 8 page spread in Watercolor Magazine: “Pouring Transparent Watercolor-techniques of Kathy Miller Stone”, Spring 2002; illustrated: Regular, Extra, & Supreme Recipes.  She has painted watercolor illustrations for a hopefully to be published children’s poetry book about the wildlife and scenery of the American wilderness entitled “What The Fox Knows” by Jacqueline Simon, author of  “Leaving Letitia Street” (a book of short stories based in Baton Rouge).

Kathy was also honored to be one of two Louisiana Watercolor Society member artists chosen to represent LWS in the National Watercolor Society’s “50 Stars Exhibition” with her painting “City Lights”.

Kathy’s last thoughts, “Artists can do little to improve what God has created, but it surely is fun trying.  I strive to have others see this glorious world through my eyes and appreciate all that we  have.”

Kathy is represented by Elizabethan Gallery and Kathy’s Cypress Studio, both in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Kathy also teaches private lessons.
