Kathleen Keliher received her art training in Seattle, Washington and moved to Bend, Oregon in 1998. Here she found the sunny skies and scenery that led to her landscape paintings.

The artist works outdoors in the summer months, developing small “plein air “ sketches and pastels. She then returns to her studio and, using these small studies for reference, develops larger studio paintings.

Kathleen is the founder and former president of the Plein Air Painters of Oregon. She was also an original member of the High Desert Art League. She has taught pastel classes, both privately and at the local community college. Kathleen has been the featured artist at Wine By the River in Bend, Oregon and was poster artist for the Sunriver Music Festival in 2001 as well as 2007. Her paintings can be found in private and public collections throughout the United States.
