Kilpatrick was born into a family of artists (her grandmother was a pianist and her mother an avid painter) in the art-filled colonial city of Trujillo, Peru, so it seemed natural that she, too, would become involved in the arts. Her career, however, has followed a less predictable trajectory — she initially earned a scholarship to pursue language studies in Italy and backpacked across Europe until her funds ran out. While abroad, Kilpatrick encountered the works of her favorite painters, Matisse and van Gogh. She then moved to the United States, where she furthered her education in the arts and studied under California artist Marcia Cummings. She has since won acclaim for her impressionism-inspired renditions of nature, which feature her adopted home state of California depicted in warm and sunny colors. http://www.southwestart.com/article/1225 |
