The Language of Shape and Intuition with Kathy Cornwell

In this episode of Women United ART PODCAST, we are joined by Kathy Cornwell, a Northern Virginia–based artist whose vibrant and intricate works combine monotype printmaking, collage, and paper cutting into richly layered compositions.Kathy’s practice is rooted in intuition, repetition, and the exploration of shape as a visual language. Through her distinctive process, she creates dynamic works that invite the viewer to slow down and engage more deeply—discovering hidden relationships, unexpected details, and moments of quiet curiosity within each piece.With a career spanning decades, Kathy has exhibited widely across the United States and has been recognized through numerous awards, including being a multiple-time finalist and recipient in the Women United ART PRIZE.In this conversation, we explore Kathy’s artistic journey, her evolution into mixed media, and how she balances structure with spontaneity in her work. We also dive into the role of play, experimentation, and persistence in sustaining a long-term creative practice.This episode is a reminder that art doesn’t always begin with certainty—but with curiosity, movement, and trust in the process.Tune in and step into Kathy’s world of rhythm, texture, and intuitive discovery.KATHY CORNWELLwww.kathycornwell.comIG: @kathy.cornwell.artThis show is brought to you by Women United ART MOVEMENT, a global platform highlighting women in the arts through a wide range of opportunities such as solo and group exhibits, annual art prize for women artists, and quarterly publication.www.womenunitedartmovement.com@womenunited_art_movement@womenunited_art_magazine
