Kathy Justice

Kathy Justice graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia in 1978. After graduation, she moved to New York City where she studied at the Art Students’ League, soon married and had two sons. Her husband's career required travel around the world. They resided in Japan, the Aleutian Islands, Washington, DC, and Moscow.

Kathy studied Shodo (calligraphy) and Ikebana (art of flower arranging) in Japan. While employed by the American Embassy in Moscow, she privately studied with several Russian artists, and explored various printmaking techniques at the Moscow Studio, the only collaborative printmaking studio in Russia founded and operated by Dennis O’Neil of the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC.

Since her children are now grown, Kathy is pursuing her art full-time. She recently received the “Paul Ellis Founders Award” for the Art in the Park Juried Exhibition, Greenville, SC 2005, for her collage, "Pleiades." She is a member of South Carolina’s Upstate Visual Arts and the Metropolitan Arts Council of Greenville County, South Carolina. Kathy is represented in private collections throughout the area.
