Artist Kathy McBride\u2019s paintings brim with whimsy, delighting viewers at numerous galleries, venues and wineries throughout the Niagara region. Her work has also adorned wine and beer labels and she is in high demand to create custom commissions for homeowners. McBride channelled the sense of fun, nostalgia and quirkiness evident in her paintings when she set about gutting and reimagining the kitchen of her century home that she shares with her husband and two sons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”1.13rem” text_line_height=”1.18rem” custom_margin=”||5px|||”
