Biography:
I grew up believing I had no artistic talent of any sort. One day, I took an introductory class in
Chinese brush painting from Nan Rae during a week of women’s programming sponsored by
Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center where I worked at the time. I still have my first
painting, dated May 1998. I was 54 at the time. Nan exudes a can-do attitude and ensures that
every student has a painting to take home and treasure from every class she teaches. I took
painting classes from her monthly from the time she opened her private studio in 2000. She
gave me the gift of art and I worried about how I would manage without her when we moved to
Oregon in January, 2004. When we arrived in Oregon, I immediately began the search for a
new teacher. I read in the West Lane News about Kathy Thompson teaching Chinese brush
painting through the Rural Art Center in Lorane. Kathy also teaches at the Schnitzer Art
Museum at the University of Oregon and at the Applegate Art Guild in Veneta. Life is
complete. (Summer 2005)
