The painter, Kathy Kornprobst, has been known for many years throughout the region of Ingolstadt, Germany. She was born in the USA and resides in Ingolstadt. After completing her art studies in London, England and Nuremberg, Germany, she has worked as a lecturer for the Volkshochschule Ingolstadt – Community College – for over 20 years. Further art instruction includes Seminars at the Gallery Weihergut, Salzburg, Austria with Professor Joseph Zenzmaier and Professor Joze Ciuha from Slovania, along with numerous teaching-training seminars and workshops in Munich, Germany.
In addition, she teaches seminars in Europe and abroad. Kathy Kornprobst has successfully presented her water colors, oil paintings, drawing and sculptures in many solo exhibitions as well as annual group exhibitions along with other accomplished artists at Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany.
Kornprobst's watercolor painting group has been together for 20 years with individual participants having attended from six months to 20 years. The fun of learning and painting, whether in theory or practice, is Kathy's priority. Kathy's personal goal as an instructor is to share the joy of painting as well as provide more knowledge of art history, techniques, and basic theory. Another aspect of Kathy's instruction is the importance of developing each individual's personal signature.
Kathy states:"For me there is nothing worse than students who only paint like the instructor rather than maintain and develop their own style."
Kathleen Kornprobst was born in 1952 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As a young teenager, Kornprobst was awarded a summer scholarship at Allerton Federate Art School University of Illinois in 1970. Her art education and trainings include St. Martin's College of Art in London, 1972-1973, and Art Academy of Nuremberg with Professor Voglsamer, 1975-1979. Further art instruction includes Seminars at the Gallery Weihergut, Salzburg, Austria with Professor Joseph Zenzmaier and Professor Joze Ciuha from Slovania, along with numerous teaching-training seminars and workshops in Munich, Germany.

Since 1985, Kornprobst has been on the teaching faculty of the community collage, Volkshochschule – Ingolstadt and Kunstwerk e.V. She travels in Europe and abroad teaching workshops, primarily in Germany and Italy. Further seminars are also held at her studio in Ingolstadt, Germany.
Kornprobst prefers working in the mediums of graphics and painting.

The annual exhibition has now been moved to the Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst (Municipal Museum for Egyptian Art) in Munich, Germany.
Kornprobst's most recent exhibition, together with artist Matthias Schlüter, was held at the Städtische Gallery Haderbastei in Ingolstadt, (Municipal Gallery) in Ingolstadt, Germany. The exhibition was sponsored by BBK Obb.Nord und Ingolstadt e.V. www.bbk-ingolstadt.de
The highly successful presentation of their images of musicians at the Jazz Festival in 1998 and 2008 , as well as their exhibition of light, space and characters in 2004 at Harder's Bastion are among the highlights of the Ingolstadt art exhibitions.
As a founding and active faculty member of the non-profit organization Besondere Menchen E.V. (Special People - Association for Cultural Arts), Kornprobst's newest project is teaching art classes to young people with special needs.
