Artists Talk with LVA: September 7, 2023

The 2023 Louisville Photo Biennial begins this week and Kevin Rose Schultz opens an exhibit at LVA on Sept. 8 while Carol Henry opens her show at Rhonda Goodall Gallery. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com on Thursdays at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Kentuckiana artist Kevin Rose Schultz works out of her studio, created by her husband, in Floyds Knobs, Indiana. Schultz’s love of art began early. In her formative years, she spent a lot of time with her grandmother, who was an avid quilter, seamstress, and crafter.  While in grade school, her mother was also beginning her home studies in painting and design. These early family role models made a lasting impression.

She taught visual arts for eighteen years in public high schools and was awarded the Art Educator of the Year Award from the Art Education Association of Indiana in 2014. She retired in 2019 but continues teaching her passion through the LVA Children’s Fine Art Classes and offers workshops locally.

Schultz currently enjoys working in photography and fibers with a focus on cyanotypes and eco-printing.  She has shown her work in national and international juried exhibitions and has works in public and private collections. 

Illuminating the Past opens September 8 at LVA Gallery and runs through November 3

The photo-based artist who spent most of her career in California explores her relationship with nature as a muse, including human nature. A recent resident of the Bluegrass state, she includes several images made with local plant life and our treasured limestone-filtered water.
