Hello ...A Glimpse of My Story

Hi, I am Kathleen

David Kassan, me, and Max

Glad to meet you!

I took a workshop with  David Kassan and  Steve, my husband, made the first version of the Parallel Palette.  David introduced me to Max Ginsburg, and Max offered to teach me.

Photo was taken in Max’s studio.

While admiring the Zorn exhibit with David, we happened to see Nelson Shanks who kindly gave us his view regarding some of the paintings.  I was so overwhelmed I honestly cannot say I remembered a thing he said!

Life is all about timing.

My very special week with Max started with Max picking me up at my hotel, then painting all day in his studio.  After a short break, I attended his class at the Arts Student League in the evening.

 Everett Kinstler (right) was amusing and interesting and often lectured at the Portrait Society..  He is one of the many artists who has taught at this event, and he will be dearly missed.

 .While sitting with Max and David at the Portrait Society, I had the pleasure of meeting Michael De Priore.  Michael painted Richard Ormond’s family portrait, in London, in John Singer Sagent’s studio.  And so the real story begins...

The Impact of Master Artists

Michael offered to become my mentor and I am blessed to have had him in my life.  I saw Michael every few months for over five years.

This image was taken at his home.  The painting in the background was painted by Michael, and the subject is his beautiful wife.


Michael passed away in 2020 and words cannot describe my sadness and gratefulness for having had him in my life..

All these artists have taught me, and have encouraged me on my journey to becoming a professional artist.


I am both grateful and blessed by all their words of wisdom. Without them, I would never have the opportunities that have now come into my life.
