KAY
STRATMAN

By Michael Mc Cormick

Amajestic landscape, a humble aspen
grove, and a flock of sandhill cranes
rising ambitiously into a clear sky are
just a few examples of what nationally
acclaimed watercolorist Kay Stratman loves
to depict in her work. Each piece captures
a visual and emotional experience from her
own unique perspective which she calls
contemporary realism.
Painting on Asian shikishi board, Stratman
embraces the freedom of working with
watercolor while, at the same time,
attempting to govern its natural instinct,
which is, to flow.
When asked to describe her approach
Stratman smiles and notes, “It’s really
controlled spontaneity. I take what excites
me and I eliminate all the extra details. Then
I exaggerate the elements which I feel are
most striking, using lots of color, of course.”
Living and working in Jackson, Wyoming, is
a dream come true for the Minnesota native
and her husband, Paul, a conservation
specialist. Now, a 10-year resident, the
dream just keeps getting better. “We are
so fortunate to live in such a magical place,
and having access to so much subject
matter for my work is priceless,” she
responds when asked how life in western
Wyoming influences her painting.
And how right she is. In just the last year,
Stratman’s “Caldera Beauty” won the “Best
Wyoming Artist Award” in the Watercolor
Wyoming National Exhibit. She has also
been named an Associate Member of Women
Artists of the West and four of her paintings
will appear in the upcoming publication, The
Artists Field Guide to Greater Yellowstone.
To view all of Kay Stratman’s artwork in
Jackson, visit Horizon Fine Art Gallery.
