Fine artist, Kathryn Spencer’s
first attempt at drawing began

During her high school years she
took every art class she could
sandwich into her Clerical Course
of study. A “Draw Me” ad in a
magazine led Kathy to a

Famous Artists”. This three year

museums featuring
impressionism. She copied Renoir’
s “After the Bath” and a few other
artist’s paintings to learn their
techniques.

moved back to Philadelphia, her
birth place. Today, she enters her
paintings and prints of Bucks
County historical houses, the New
