Kathy Ammon’s latest series of paintings is an exploration of the intersection of faith with purpose. Fueled by observation and experiences of living a more spiritual life, Ammon’s vision for making the intangible visible has become her focal point.  Working on a smaller scale than typical for Ammon, the artist is working in acrylics on birch panels. She focuses on redefining and restructuring personal space as visualized through the eyes of the Spirit -- people gathered in processional lines of wait and journey; huddled masses and communal celebrations; a revival of comfort, trust, humility, and strength.  The artist is translating experiences of the faithful, and recording and exemplifying moments of transformation and grace, with revelations of hope.
 
Ammon received her formal training earning a Bachelor of Arts in painting, with combined studies at the University of South Carolina and the University of Texas at Dallas. Since beginning her art career in 1988, Kathy’s work has been well-received and part of numerous private and corporate collections including Urban Ministries, Raleigh; The Alliance for Children Everywhere - House of Moses, Zambia, Africa; The Navigators, Colorado Springs, Co; SAS Institute International; and Disney World International. Some recent group and solo exhibitions include the Longview Center in Raleigh NC; the Target Gallery, Alexandria, VA; Rosenthal Gallery, Fayetteville State University, NC; and Brevard Art Center and Museum, Melbourne, FL.  In 2007, Ammon was a recipient of the NC Regional Artist Project Grant to create and publish a book of her series, Road to Damascus.
