- Kathryn Wheeler is the daughter of Tilman E. Wheeler and Martha L. Scott Wheeler. She hails from Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from Shades Mountain High School. Wheeler earned her BFA in Commercial Art from Mississippi State College for Women. Her art mentors include Joel Johnson, Stephen Quiller, Michael Atkinson and Laura Mehmert and the great outdoors, wildlife and other animals have always been her creative inspirations. Wheeler's primary artwork mediums and modes are watercolor, oils, pastels, woodcarving, reliefs and calligraphy. After moving to Vail in 1973, Wheeler established herself in the fine arts community. Wheeler worked with The Vail Institute, The Vail Trail, Vail Scene Magazine, 4 Eagle Ranch, plus various interior designers, print shops, public relations firms and other businesses. In 2003, Wheeler created a pyrographic woodcarving as a memorial for Lyndon Ellefson. Ellefson was a longtime local and elite endurance athlete. The memorial was sponsored by Town of Vail Art in Public Places program and is located in Ellefson Park on Davos Trail in West Vail. Wheeler also continued her art and calligraphy studies at the Vail, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale and Aspen campuses of Colorado Mountain College. During the 1990s, Wheeler developed an art technique that featured large Bas Relief images applied directly to interior walls. The raised Relief images and wall space were usually painted with similar hues; hence, the images cast shadows that were both subtle and evocative. The image seemed to move toward you as the it continuously danced with the changes in room lighting. The effect was magical and the technique became a creative way to add interest to a stairway or wall. While living in the Colorado mountains, Kathryn Wheeler enjoyed riding her horse, cross-country skiing, backpacking, teaching Country Western dance, playing tennis, and touring the 10th Mountain Hut System. In 2010, Wheeler relocated to Mentone, Alabama where she has a log cabin in the Appalachian Mountain woodlands.
