Kay Hartung
Kay Hartung works in encaustic and mixed media creating paintings and prints that captivate the eye with their color and energy. She is inspired by geometric forms and patterns found in the natural world. She builds depth in her imagery layer by layer, creating textures and color relationships that engage the viewer on a visceral level. Hartung's creative journey is deeply rooted in her background in fibers and textiles, a rich tapestry of knowledge that infuses her art with an understanding of the interplay between material and form.
Hartung received a BFA from Philadelphia College of Art, and an MFA from Syracuse University. She has been awarded grants from the Somerville Arts Council, Malden Arts Council and the Ford Foundation. In 2017 she was the recipient of a Merit Award from Vermont Studio Center for a month-long Artist’s Residency. Hartung has contributed to the art community through extensive administrative work often as a project coordinator or jury member and has taught at Endicott College, MA, and Bradford College, MA, among others. Recent exhibitions include Danforth Annual Juried Exhibition 2023, Interconnected: A Fiber Show at Mary Cosgrove Dolphin Gallery, Relationships: Hot/Cold/Intricate at Southern Vermont Art Center. Hartung lives in Acton, MA with her husband Paul and dog Tori.
