OILS

Birgitta was born and raised in Sweden and came to the United States in 1966. She is best known for her watercolors, though recently has changed her main focus to oils because she enjoys the rich texture of the paint. She has studied under numerous well known artists such as Milford Zornes, Robert E. Woods, and Ovanes Berberian.

Drawing her visual inspiration from nature, Kappe searches for patches of sunlight on the hillsides and slivers of blue on the ocean. She draws her emotional inspiration from within. “When I’m peaceful, my paintings are soothing. The feeling within me excites me more than anything,” the artist explains. She uses an array of colors and distributes them freely to blend and unify each piece. “My passion for color is captured in my paintings. Early morning light and late afternoon glow are my favorite times to paint.”

Kappe has shown her work in solo shows at the Main Street Library in Huntington Beach and other Orange County Libraries. She has also shown her work at The La Quinta Arts Festival; The Desert Plein Air, La Quinta, where her work was purchased by the Betty Ford Center; The Cove Gallery, Li-Ying and Company Gallery, and the Art-A-Fair Festival in Laguna Beach. She received the award of Best Watercolor Artist in 1998 and Best Oil Painter in 2000 at the Art-A-Fair Festival.
