Kathryn Polk ( 1952 – ) studied painting at the Memphis Academy of Art and Memphis State University. In 2002, she began working with traditional stone lithography.
Artist’s statement: “Love creates change and forces us to make choices that lead us into unknown territories. My mother died June 9, 2016. She taught me a lot about survival and endurance.
