Karlson's focus on the histories of American art and architecture during her study for the M.A. and Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Minnesota, is combined with her training in Art History. Karlson's paintings reflect layered sources of inspiration, from her interest in abstract expressionism, her upbringing near the prairie, to her years in the Peace Corps in West Africa.
In 1998, Kathy Karlson was awarded an NEA grant for fiction writing, which has allowed her to devote more time to both writing and painting.
