Michelle Buckley Divine Moon Muser“Perfectly timed, I came across Kathy’s website as I stood at the edge of the next chapter in my life. Kathy is indeed a shining light, illuminating the way for you to find what you are seeking through creativity, art, moon musing, astrology, mid life transition …the list is long! She emanates warmth that feels like a beckoning hand outstretched as she gently guides you to find your path and she also knows how to ask the deep questions! Most importantly though – Kathy makes it FUN!”

Michelle Buckley, Creative Soul.

I love this blog and the ability Kathy Crabbe has to find peace with herself, share what she has learned, and reach out to other women. It’s a peace I hope to find in myself someday….sooner rather then later would be nice so I guess in the meantime I’ll have to work on my patience. “She believed she could so she did.”- Beatrix Potter.

Kathy Crabbe ~ Artist Bio

Born 1965 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Kathryn V. Crabbe lives and works in Temecula, California.

Kathryn took an interest in art while very young in a family that encouraged the exploration of every medium. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Queen’s University in 1988 and a Graphic Design Diploma from St. Lawrence College in 1992. Of particular importance to her vision as an artist was her study of the female form and women’s studies.

Temecula Art Gallery Opening 2012

In 1993 Kathryn moved to Laguna Beach, California where she painted the LuLu in Laguna Series, paintings on silk which she exhibited at the Sawdust Art Festival for seven years. She brought to her art a playful sense of humour and an expressive use of colour, which has remained at the core of her work throughout her career.

After moving to Temecula, California in 2000 Kathryn started to paint exclusively with her non dominant left hand and created the Lefty Series, a collection of humorously titled cartoon characters. She also wrote poetry and created a series of zines and chapbooks based upon the Lefties which were exhibited at museums and libraries around the world.

In 2008 Kathryn started a series of acrylic, abstract paintings, a Journey into Intimacy. She studied printmaking at Palomar College, bought an etching press and is making monoprints and etchings for the BodyPrint Healing Series. Kathryn also became a Creative Soul Guide and teacher of the popular eClass, Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul at the Wise Woman University. The intuitive process has informed Kathryn’s work and life from the beginning.

Kathryn’s works are featured in numerous private and public collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art Archives, Pacific Northwest College of Art Library, San Diego Public Library Special Collections and the UCLA Arts Library.

I create simply for the love of becoming; like a talisman I mark my space, my canvas, the paper with my body, my marks and colours, not to say ‘look at me’, but as a holy act to awaken love, intimacy and healing – to become whole, not fragmented, to feel it all I paint all emotions; fear and love. I also paint bird imagery to free myself, to fly, to be free. I paint to regain my soul and the soul of my people that has been lost, repackaged and sold to the god of commerce.
