Kathleen Probst earned a bachelor of science in finance and went on to teach high school mathematics. She has also worked as a whitewater raft guide and a computer programmer. Now, she balances her life between growing boys and creating art. Heavily influenced by the Front Range Contemporary Quilters, she began creating art quilts in 2000. Kathleen has artwork in several private collections. Her work has appeared in mixed media and fiber art shows in Colorado and Idaho. In 2003, Kathleen made her artistic debut in Elements, a show juried by Robert Shaw. Kathleen’s quilts have a playful quality where color is used to manipulate perception of space.

I believe creating art is one of the cosmic tasks I have been given. It is challenging, frustrating, and rewarding to look at a pile of fabric and give it a voice. To sift through the ideas that find my conscience and play with them makes me a child forever.
