A TRIBUTE TO KATHY (McKENZIE) DUNCAN
DNACA is proud to present A TRIBUTE TO "KATHY (McKENZIE) DUNCAN"
On View at the Crescent City Courthouse, untill April 9th, 2026
Kathy (McKenzie) Duncan is/was a very talented
artist who won numerous awards and ribbons
throughout her career. Her portrait "Gentlemen
" of Nevada" was the cover of the Nevada Day Celebration
Magazine.
Kathy resided in the Northern Nevada area until the 1990s at
which time she relocated to the Southern Oregon Coast. She would
paint on anything she saw that inspired her whether it be rustic tins and
items found in the Nevada desert, furniture, driftwood, buoys, rocks,
and items found at garage sales or at places like Goodwill.
She worked in different mediums such las acrylic, watercolor,
pastel or a combination thereof. She loved painting people and was
able to capture their emotions and character. She especially enjoyed
painting all sorts of animals (too many to mention but some samples
can be seen in this exhibit). She would study and learn all about the
animals she was painting in order to really portray their spirit, humor
and essence.
Kathy had a beautiful heart, soul and had an effervescent personality that
resonates in her artwork. She had a warmth, spirit and charm like no other.
I cannot say enough about my ma's talent. Her work clearly shows her talent. Aside from being a great artist and person,She was, above all else, a abulous Ma who is greatly missed am proud and honored to share her talent.
Enjoy, Lisa Specchio
