Lichens, Seaweed, and Bittersweet

Ramalina sp., Physcia stellaris, Fucus vesiculosus, Celastrus orbiculatus, Watercolor by Kathy Folino




Kathy Folino’s work illustrates a fascination with the details of a natural world not apparent in casual observation. Most at home with plants in the habitats of her native New England, she also takes an interest in the occasional exotic. After attending Massachusetts College of Art she began a thirty-year career in medical photography. She is currently enrolled in the Botanical Art Program at Wellesley College Friends of Horticulture.  Kathy is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists, the New England Society of Botanical Artists, and the Ophthalmic Photographers Society. Her paintings have won several awards and she has exhibited in numerous group shows.

A catalog of the artwork and profiles of the artists is available online from the ASBA for $20 plus shipping & handling. http://www.amsocbotartists.org/ASBA-Catalogs.html
