After careers as a hairstylist/make-up artist, educational design and management, organizational development and training, and eight years of glass beadmaking as a hobby, in 2000, Kathleen decided to pursue the glass arts in earnest. She studied at Pilchuck Glass School three summers in a row and launched down the path of her current work - flameworked botanical sculpture. Kathleen is engaged in two bodies of work encompassing representational botanical sculpture and imaginary botanical forms. These works express Kathleen's life-long love of plant life and her over twenty years of study in philosophy and spirituality. Her work is represented by galleries throughout the country and on her website www.KathleenElliot.com.

Kathleen currently studies Art at De Anza College, resides and operates a studio in Cupertino, CA, while happily married and raising a family of five children.
