Kathy Harder Archives - Coors Western Art

For years artist Kathy Harder has been fulfilling her dream as a land steward on her mountain ranch in the old oak forests of California. With the stabilization of her homestead, she has found “a return to source” in her artwork, a reconnection with her materials and a “spirit journey” with the animals she documents. Her subject matter has come from her strong link to the wonder and power of nature. Kathy lives what she paints. Her ranch life and a passion for horses informs her masterful portal of these magical creatures weather it be running free or freely running unseat an uninvited rider.

After years of art study through Saddleback College of Mission Viejo, Harder now enjoys success at a national level receiving numerous awards and honors. Her work has been shows such as Young Guns, Coors Western Art Exhibition and Sale, Phippen Museum, and now Cowgirl Up 2025. Last year Harder was one of the only 37 artists to premier the first national Western woman’s art show at the Woolaroc Museum in Oklahoma.
