In addition to portrait work, I also paint large, and small scale still life, wildlife, and landscapes. I have also developed a distinctive abstract style, primarily using acrylics overlaid with mixed media. My abstracts have been described as being “pure, intense, and intuitive”, as well as being “joyful” and “playful”. Although I consider myself to be self-taught, I enjoyed the tutelage of two renowned local artists who have graciously shared their vast knowledge with me: Irene Perry and Curney Nuffer. I also have gallery representation through Crossroads Art Center, and Stravitz Gallery in Virginia Beach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Professional Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest in Show, “Portrait of Sam”  Tuckahoe Woman’s Club juried art exhibition 1996\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest in Show, “Portrait of Richard” Tuckahoe Woman’s Club juried art exhibition 1997\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharlottesville Designer House Interior Design Exhibition collaboration with Ufab designer Will Chambers 2015\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRichmond Symphony Designer House Interior Design Exhibition collaboration with Ufab designer Will Chambers 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParade of Homes Interior Design Exhibition 2015, 2016, 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHampden-Sydney College Commissions: Office of Student Affairs, “Sugar Cane Fields of the Dominican Republic”, “College Church”, “Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright”\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican Cancer Society Cattle Baron’s Ball Exhibition \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeredith College Alumnae Exhibition Best in Show\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrossroads Art Center Juried Art Exhibition: 3rd place “Shrouded” mixed media abstract, Honorable Mention “Aire Mail Special” mixed media abstract\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurated Art Exhibition “America: Made in Virginia” America 250 Exhibition at the Governor’s Mansion of the Commonwealth of Virginia 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommission and Installation of the “Dog Wall” at Daisy’s at Tredegar permanent display of 18 individual dog portraits\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist in Residence “Daisy’s at Tredegar\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducation \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBachelor of Arts in History (cum laude)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1985 Meredith College, Raleigh, North Carolina \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibitions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrossroads Art Center Richmond, Virginia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRichard Stravitz Gallery Virginia Beach, Virginia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDaisy’s at Tredegar Richmond, Virginia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pantele-kathy-title-freedoms-watchdog","title":"Pantele, Kathy title: Freedom's Watchdog","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKathy Pantele\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFreedom's Watchdog\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 x 24 \", framed to 26 x 26\" floater frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e$1200\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e“Freedom’s Watchdog” features an All-American rescue dog.
