About Kathryn Drysdale

Kathryn Drysdale has maintained a studio in Wakefield, Quebec since 1991. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from Concordia University and also studied at the Ontario College of Art. Her artistic practice is based in drawing and is inspired by observing the natural and industrial Canadian landscape. Her large scale drawings are a means to notice, interpret and express the visual complexity of her immediate surroundings. She has participated in shows in Canada and abroad. Her work can be found in private and public art collections including the City of Ottawa and Loto-Quebec. Kathryn also has a keen interest in the fibre arts which led her to explore the world of colour through hand dyeing yarn. She founded a small craft business, Riverside Studio, in 2012 where she produces beautiful hand-dyed yarns and sells them around the world. Kathryn is visual arts instructor at the Ottawa School of Art.
