Kathy Bussert-Webb


Dr. Kathy’s found-object, hand-made assemblages focus on inner healing, nature, and gender. Although her eco-practice explores how we heal from nature using what mother earth provides, she includes humor in titles and pieces. This inquisitive material researcher published a 2026 report in an EU repository to share her innovations, including dried scoby (the filmy mass that ferments tea into kombucha) as a sculptural medium that she sewed. She won awards in U.S. juried shows and had six solo shows (including in Canada, March 2026). She participated in nine art residencies including in Spain, Costa Rica, and Canada. Her art and writing are featured in international magazines, journals, and books, including 101 Artbook, Nature Edition. Her art is in private and public collections. Kathy, a Seattle-based artist, is a member of Gallery 110, Equinox Studios, and the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists. Kathy received her MFA in 2022; she is Professor Emerita in literacy.
