ORIGINS

Kathy Cuiffi has more than 30 years of art experience working in all mediums, including oil, watercolor and pastels and has studied with several distinguished artists and teachers in the U.S. She and her husband, Nick, purchased Heartscapes from Dick Selleck, who is a master framer and has passed on some tricks of the trade to Nick. Selleck still helps the couple.

 Kathy’s quote

“The arts are helpful for so many people. We teach women who have cancer, women who have lost their spouses; it’s therapeutic,” Cuiffi said.
