Kathy Keler

Kathy Keler is a multi-media artist who moved to Tucson in 2009 from Washington DC, where she had worked as a visual artist and arts organizer for over 25 years. Whether in an abstract or figurative mode, her work centered on an interior journey, a mapping of the unconscious through mythic images and symbols. Around 2010 she began pursuing an interest in community theater, dance and video, and started an informal collective called the Carport Theater, finding new forms to express her familiar themes. In 2021 and 2023 she facilitated 2 performances at the Sea of Glass in downtown Tucson, each inspired by Jungian psychology. In late 2023, Keler participated in a group show, "Visionary Art" at the Valdez Library, sponsored by the Southern Arizona Friends of Jung. Her work in the show presented narratives depicting the encounter between the conscious and the unconscious, and the dance between the two.
