Kathryn Chandler was born in California, grew up in the Midwest, and spent many years living on the East Coast and in the Southeast. She returned to California in 5 years ago. Chandler's Gallery is an important part of the Carlsbad art scene.
As a child her favorite pass times were drawing, coloring and painting. She was strongly influenced by very creative parents and her paternal grandmother who was a portrait Artist and porcelain china painter. Kathryn did not however, pursue a career as an Artist, and chose a more stable career as a banker. All the while the Artist in her kept calling. She took up amateur photography as an outlet for capturing the beautiful things of nature, but it was not enough. Because of a wonderful color and design sense, she designed interiors of homes for friends. It was still not enough. she looked on enviously as her sister became a successful Artist and illustrator
Kathryn paints mostly landscapes from her studio and on location. Her favorite mediums are oils and gouache. She believes "Art touches the human spirit. In each piece, I am exposing myself to a total stranger which can be frightening and exhilerating at the same time. But, to share the experience and see the appreciation through someone else's eyes is worth it. When someone loves a piece enough to buy it, well, it is the ultimate compliment." She hopes you enjoy her work on display at Chandler's Gallery Carlsbad, and that any purchase you make provides you with years of enjoyment.
