Kathryn's journey to the Land of Enchantment connected the dots between her passion for art, music, and living life to the fullest.

​

Born in England, and having grown up in south Florida, Kathryn Nun has been embracing “the arts” of Santa Fe since her family's relocation in 2001. Coming from a very artistic family, Kathryn has been applying color to everything in her path since she was able to hold a paintbrush. She grew up surrounded by creativity and artistic inspiration.

​

Kathryn’s strong use of color results in bold and vivacious pieces, always full of passion. Strongly inspired by music, Kathryn expresses intense emotion in all of her paintings which are often stimulated by the music she listens to while painting. Predominantly working in acrylic and mixed media, she is constantly seeking new techniques and media to apply to her artwork, such as watercolor inks and oils, epoxy resin, and encaustic. Kathryn also experiments with various utensils and unusual materials to produce interesting textures in her eclectic mirror, box and furniture art—designed in collaboration with her husband, Yusef Nun.
 

In New Mexico, Kathryn's gallery representation has included art galleries at Cowgirl Red, Studio 14, The Lotus, and Ghost Town Trading Post. She has also been a featured artist in the 2015 love AS Revolution Festival & Art Show and Metallo Gallery’s “In Microsale" annual miniature art shows since 2013. She has exhibited in numerous juried and outdoor art festivals, and is available (upon request) for commissions and donations in support of various New Mexico charitable causes—annually supporting the New Mexico Cancer Foundation, The Santa Fe Horse Shelter, The Fuzz Fund, and more.

​

As the sun sets over the Cerrillos hills each evening, you will most likely find Kathryn sitting in front of her easel—paintbrush in hand, covered in acrylics—creating new pieces of art. Any free time, she enjoys spending with her three dogs on her 25 acres in Cerrillos. She is passionate about travel, wine tasting, cooking with her Puerto Rican chef husband, and partaking in any activities that involves art and/or great music.
