Kohtz

“As an artist, my objective is to use color, design, texture, and
luminosity to evoke a feeling. I consider myself a “stream-of-
consciousness” artist. I paint intuitively, with the art flowing through
me as an integral part of the creative process.”

Kohtz is a contemporary artist whose work encompasses a melody of mediums. Frequently, paint, paper,
organic materials such as sand, leaves and twigs are imbedded in layers of high gloss varnish in her
painting. This technique gives her work a three-dimensional quality as if the paintings were suspended
under water. Kohtz created this process which she calls “sub-surfacing.”

Unlike realism, which commands the viewer to see a specific thing, abstract art holds a space in a room
through an emotional response. The beauty of art in the abstract is the connection between the creative
mind and the personal perspective. Natural elements have always been a strong inspiration for Kohtz’s
art. Although we all see things differently, together the artist and the viewer refine and complete the
painting through thought, emotion, and imagination.
