KATHY REILLY is a Golden Bay artist working from her studio overlooking the family dairy farm in Takaka. Kathy was born in 1960 and grew up in Golden Bay. She studied Graphic Design at Christchurch Technical Institute, then worked as a Commercial Artist in advertising and printing before returning to Takaka for a career in dairy farming.

Fifteen years later, Kathy was able to resume her career as an artist, this time though with the freedom to pursue styles and subjects that inspire her. She works in pen and ink, oils, watercolours and printmaking, preferring portraiture, still life and surreal subject matter.
