Hammond’s work today is highly diverse, reflecting her strong interest in experimenting with a wide range of subject matter. While striving for accurate representation, she consistently incorporates unexpected elements into each piece—whether through color, pattern, or the inclusion of an object.
She worked as a mural artist in the Houston area from 1993 to 2023, following an earlier career as a graphic artist. Painting remains a daily practice, and she considers herself fortunate to have made a living through her passion. She discovered plein air painting around eight years ago and loves any opportunity to go out and paint with friends. Learn more at paintingsbykathy.com.
ABOUT GALVESTON HISTORICAL FOUNDATION
Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF) was formed as the Galveston Historical Society in 1871 and merged with a new organization formed in 1954 as a non-profit entity devoted to historic preservation and history in Galveston County. Over the last seventy years, GHF has expanded its mission to encompass community redevelopment, historic preservation advocacy, maritime preservation, museum development, and heritage tourism. GHF embraces a broader vision of history and architecture that encompasses advancements in environmental and natural sciences and their intersection with historic buildings and coastal life, and continues to lead on local, state, and national levels with research-driven programs that build awareness of preservation’s role in cultural identity and stewardship across generations.
