Kay A. Klotzbach’s earliest memory was looking through a Cheerio at her grandfather and sharing her experience by getting him to look too. She has continued to be intrigued by the multitude of ways a subject can be observed regardless of what subject matter she paints.
She was born in Buffalo, NY and became a “military brat”. Numerous moves within the United States and abroad in her formative years further propelled her towards the life of an artist. No matter what friends had been left behind or what boxes had yet arrived she was always able to entertain herself with pencil and paper. Having experienced life as a perpetual “outsider” she is keenly aware of how art can sustain an individual and build bridges between people.
Klotzbach received her B.S. in Art Education
from Moore College of Art & Design and a
M.F.A. in Visual Art from Vermont College,
Norwich University. She has exhibited her
work regionally and nationally in a variety
of venues. Recent exhibitions include
