Kathy Dunaway

Based in Southern California, K Dunaway produces mixed media works that merge the precision of graphic design with energetic abstraction. She builds layered compositions on paper, wood, and canvas, employing acrylic, spray paint, ink, pencil, and unconventional tools such as sanders to create tactile surfaces rich in color and texture. Matisse’s influence is evident in her use of bold color, cutouts, and collage, yet her approach remains distinctive. Dunaway’s practice is shaped by personal resilience, reflecting her experiences raising three children and supporting her late husband through his long illness.
