About Me

Kathy Aldous-Schleindl has a Bachelor of Design degree from the Emily Carr University of Art & Design, and has worked as a graphic designer in Toronto for clients such as: Penguin, Harcourt Brace, DC Heath, and Scholastic. After coming to Calgary, she designed for Fifth House Publishing. In addition to design work, Kathy’s projects have included painting, illustration, murals, textile art, and one-of-a-kind “Marmalade” handbags. (hence the name of my website!)

Kathy also enjoys being involved in community art projects. She has worked for Antyx Community Arts in Calgary to create a mural for the Southland Leisure Centre with the After School Program; and also created a mural with a community in Falconridge. She also did the sidewalk chalk mural for the “Ted & Tara” Breakfast TV ad. (fun!)

Kathy currently teaches weekly classes at North Mount Pleasant Art Centre and Hughes on Tenth (Art Gallery & Classes). She also taught the winter 2012 term painting class at the Kerby Seniors Centre; and weekly art classes at Highwood Mandarin School. She has done an art workshop with the Calgary Islamic school, and with Studio C in Art Central. Vive l’art!
