Kathleen Gemberling Adkison (July 5, 1917 - 2010), was an American abstract painter.
Like Jackson Pollock, Adkison worked with
her canvas on the floor. She is recognized as among the first female to
do so. However, her focus is based on the natural beauty of rocks,
trees, tall grasses and other images she perceived from her hikes with
her husband.
Adkison was a critically acclaimed artist
and highly recognized for her work. She was among only eight women
included in Northwest Art Today at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. She
died in August 2010
