May 31, 2013 in artists

The 4th Annual Monster Drawing was a Kansas City Design Week event not to miss! We are excited to announce that Monster Drawing Rally raised $3200 towards the Women In Design Scholarship. The talent and artwork was amazing! We are so grateful to the artists who made this possible and the event a success.   To see all of the photos from the event please visit our flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/monsterdrawingrallykc/

It was a snowy day but we still had a great turnout at the AIA event space in the Crossroads.

Guests of Monster Drawing rally have the rare opportunity to watch art come to life before their eyes. After the live drawing session, the art is bid on in a silent auction format.

We are so grateful to the artists who made this possible and the event a success.  We are looking forward to planning next year’s event and it being an even bigger success.  If you would like to help plan or participate in this event please email monsterdrawingrally@gmail.com.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Kathryn “Kate” Beaver is an exhibiting artist in both landscape and figural genres, finding that they share interesting linear and spatial qualities unfound anywhere else, alluding to and creating ambiguous forms within each of her works.

She primarily works in mediums such as oil paint, charcoal and steel sculpture. Her work has been displayed numerous times in the Art and Design Gallery at the University of Kansas, the lobby of the Bank of Prairie Village, as well as the Mallin and Charno galleries of the Kansas City Artist’s Coalition in the River Market area.
