Kathy M. Manley is an visual artist whose works serve as a conduit in the exploration of human behavior and the natural world, in particular, the connections and physical characteristics between these inter-twined forms. Anthropological and Dendrological research serves to inform and inspire her images.
Manley received an A.A. in Fine Art Photography from Northern Virginia Community College, a M.Ed in Instructional Technologies and B.S Elementary Education from George Mason University. After a 31-year teaching career, the transition back to photography began by helping teachers inspire young children to use a camera. She has maintained a studio portrait practice for the past decade. Kathy has continued her studies in photography through coursework and classes at her local Universities, National Geographic, Santa Fe Photo Workshops, and the Los Angeles Center for Photography. Her work has been included in group shows both nationally and internationally. She has been published in several books, and she curated a solo show at Crooked Run Gallery, in Sterling Virginia. She lives and works in Arlington, Virginia.
