KATHLEEN SHANAHAN
BIO:
After a BFA from the University of Michigan (1969), and an MFA from the University of Arizona (1976), I taught in colleges in Arizona, Oregon, Missouri and Kansas at Wichita State University (1983-97) and University of Kansas (2001-02), as lecturer in painting and drawing. I devoted one year (1976) to live and work on my art in Bisbee, AZ, and another doing grant-funded research in Japan (1981-82) based at the National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka.
During my career, I have exhibited in this country, Paris, France, Hong Kong, and Japan. My work can be seen at the Strecker Nelson Gallery in Manhattan KS (www.strecker-nelsongallery.com), and at my website (www.kathleenshanahan.com).
