Kathy Keenan is an award-winning local artist whose paintings combine realism, surrealism and impressionism in a way that connects the divine and the natural. An engaging and humorous speaker, Kathy will discuss her journey from Silicon Valley PR executive to dedicated artist as she shares her philosophy of art along with slides of her paintings.

After a career as a public relations executive and entrepreneur, she dropped out of the Silicon Valley fast life to pursue her art. The result was an impressive collection of paintings, a number of which have won top prizes in Los Gatos area art shows. She has since re-entered the public relations and marketing world with a new start-up called Kaizen and is also writing a book called Magical Moments.
