Where Art History Feels Like Conversation
For more than 25 years, the Fireside Chat has gathered our community to explore art in a way that is engaging, thoughtful, and refreshingly down to earth. Whether you’ve attended for years or are joining us for the first time, you’ll find a space where curiosity is encouraged and questions are welcome. No art degree required.
Kathleen has a way of making art history feel alive. Through the Fireside Chat series, she explores the stories behind the canvas and makes art history engaging for everyone in the room.
A Centre College graduate with a degree in Art History, Kathleen currently serves as a Gifted and Talented teacher at Crittenden County Schools. She previously worked as Assistant Director and Children’s & Youth Services Librarian at the Crittenden County Public Library and is a former Community Arts Foundation board member. In 2019, she appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy!.
For more than 25 years, Kathleen has presented our Fireside Chat, shaping it into one of CAF’s most enduring traditions.
