Deirdre Kennedy Artist Bio & Statement
Deirdre Kennedy has been an artist and a painter all her life. She studied painting at San Francisco State University under Bob Bechtle. In San Francisco she became absorbed by the work of Richard Diebenkorn and the Bay Area Figurative Movement.

After moving back to New York City she started taking classes at The Art Students League, Cooper Union and the Montclair Art Museum.  She lives in Jersey City and  has been studying sumi-e, the art of Japanese brushwork, at the Koho School of Sumi-E for over ten years under the guidance of artist and teacher Koho Yamamoto. Since the school's 2010 closing in Soho,  she continues private instruction with Koho Sensei. She also attends figure drawing sessions on a regular basis.
 
"I started practicing sumi-e as a watercolor artist to learn how to better handle a brush. As I worked with traditional sumi-e painting I fell in love with this technique of painting– with its simplicity, as well as its complexity. Recently, my work has become more abstract.
I still use sumi-e and rice paper as well as various experimental effects to give depth and freshness to my work. Because of the challenges with the materials the painting style becomes very loose and spontaneous. This series of wave paintings reflect my painting at it’s most spontaneous with the interaction of sumi-e and paper reflecting the motion of the ocean that I love."
