Ward\u2019s commentary on this piece reveals her \u201clong-evolving interest in self-discovery, transformation and metamorphosis, and the regenerative power of nature.\u201d This drawing is a result of twelve similar works by Ward, referring back to her dwelling in Valle Crucis, North Carolina. Ward has exhibited widely, and her paintings are in more than 100 collections in the U.S. and Europe. She practiced curatorial work in Virginia and North Carolina, published several articles, and recieved multiple grants and awards.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-662d5af1ebb48\" data-id=\"662d5af1ebb48\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4 > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}\n<\/style><a href=\"https:\/\/weaverfoundation.com\/weaver-uncg-art-collection\/\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-s link-hover-off btn-inline-left \" id=\"default-btn-50623a3f689e2cd33f385ad64a5696f4\"><span>Art Collection Home<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-662d5af1ebd33\" data-id=\"662d5af1ebd33\" data-height=\"30\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"30\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;2935&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] The River Charcoal, Mixed Media on Paper [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Kathleen Ward earned her MFA in Painting and Studio Arts in 1996, with a minor in Art History from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG).
