Meet Featured Artist Kathy McBride

Kathy McBride

2020 WOD Featured Artist

Kathy McBride considers it her personal “luck of the draw” when she was asked to be the artist for the 2020 Women of Distinctions honorees. After speaking with these women to hear about their passions and good works, creating the art to tell their stories was not just a “project” but a gift.

Kathy works in mixed media, often including nature in her art. Her inspirations grow from caricatures, assemblages, home renderings to artist books honoring people, places and events.

She started her career path as a public relations director for Black Hawk Council of Girl Scouts and then Alverno College alumnae director. She worked with and learned from people who used their gifts to make a difference for others.

In 1990 she became an art teacher in Menomonee Falls. Kathy says, “Making art is an important part of the learning process. I combined my passion for the arts with teaching others to explore and use their own creative gifts. What a great way to make a living.”

After retiring, Kathy continues to teach private students and has been a Carroll University adjunct. She collaborates with other artists, exhibits, stays involved with community art projects and joyfully accepts commission work.

“My priority will always be to create artwork with a personal touch.”
