Kathy's work has won praise from The New York Times and has been shown in museums and galleries throughout the country, including the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, the National Woman’s Museum Archives in Washington, D.C., and the Long Island Museum. A classically trained artist, Buist graduated from the New York Art Academy. Having lived in New York City for over a decade, her landscapes are of a very different topography. The pieces convey a reverence for the earth, sea and sky that manifests itself in quite sensual ways. These works play on the elemental values of sun, water, and morning mist to capture the spirit of each environment. It has been observed that some of Kathy's paintings almost impart the aroma of the earth. Each has an underlying sensual quality which will emerge in some surprising manner to reveal the painting's essence. This comes from her intimate relationship with the subject matter. In her paintings, Kathy also explores the transformational qualities of light, using the subtle nuances found in refracted morning, afternoon or evening light to embody a particular moment in time. Perhaps these sensibilities are a result of having grown up on a farm in rural Michigan — and a flower farm, at that. While sensual, the landscapes are also somewhat political. They return the viewer to a seemingly lost time in which humans interrelated on more fundamental levels with nature. In addition, they speak to today’s need for increasing environmental awareness, as well as preserving that environment. Kathy has been a resident artist at centers in Vermont and Virginia and her paintings are part of numerous private collections internationally. She also has the distinct honor of being part of Who's Who in American Art.
