Kathy Tortorella is a local artist who never tires of capturing the Lowcountry in pastels or oils.  “Each medium has its advantages.  With pastel, I can layer color over color to achieve a luminous effect.  Oils are more immediate; the color mixing happens on the palette.” 
She has studied with Alan Flattman, Christina DeBarry, Margaret Dyer, Susan Sarback, Ted Jordan, Sally Strand and Armand Cabrera .  Her work has received awards in local and international shows.  It can be seen at the Art League of Hilton Head Gallery, the Society of Bluffton Artists Gallery, Fraser Museum in Sea Pines and the Maye River Gallery in Old Town Bluffton.  She is a Member of Excellence in the Southeastern Pastel Society.
