I am a Canadian born self taught intuitive artist and soul reader currently living and working in the desert valley of Southern California surrounded by ancient oaks and an elfin forest. I live in a home created by my husband that we share with our cat and dog, Abby and Spartacus. Gnomes, aliens and fairies have also been spotted here. I’ve been drawing since age two and giving intuitive soul readings since 2008.

Saying goodbye to my babies (silk paintings that is!)

I'm letting my babies go! Mystic Arts Gallery in Laguna Beach will be exhibiting 13 of my LuLu in Laguna original silks this summer. These are my TOP TOP favorites; paintings I've held onto since the '90's when I first painted them in Laguna Beach. I've managed to sell 1,000's of prints from them - thank you all! I also am not able to get my favorite picture frames anymore  which I lovingly handpaint to match the originals. My silk paintings are no longer babies anymore - they are teens (!) but they are finally leaving the nest and I am sad (and happy); perhaps bittersweet is the word? To view all 12 originals for sale please click here.

Mer-Friends

I love painting Mermaids, but this particular Mermaid was feeling a bit lonely so she enticed a MerCat to join her.  I painted this twosome yesterday using acrylics on pine board. Enjoy! Kathy Crabbe, Mer-Friends, 2014, acrylic on wood, 6x6”.
