"The Heavenly Place" l 2021 l - 24 x 34 inches - one of a kind - Suminagashi, Japanese Marbling & Photography, Ink on Archival Photo Paper in an Oak Frame.


Signed and Ready to Hang!

This is work from the "Ocean Auras" Collection. A collaboration with my husband photographer, Ben Kaller.

It represents our deep affinity for the sea and the joy we feel when in connection with nature.

Individually we share our own unique visions of this connection.

I co-create with the element of water using Suminagashi, an ancient Japanese marbling technique. With a paintbrush I drop ink on the surface of water, pooling together color stories and creating abstract formations that remind me of lifelong experiences on the oceanside. I then captures the floating print by lying rice paper onto the ink.

Ben uses his camera to study the ocean from both on land and in the water.

Using his senses as a photographer and a surfer he observes the way, light, color and elements of life integrate with the dynamic energy of the coast.

Together we infused both of our visions to create "Ocean Auras". The vibrant imagery pays homage to this natural sanctuary for us. Ben prints these images on archival photo paper and then I hand marbles each piece creating one of kind collaborative works.

In honor of this place that has brought so much joy and healing to them and in keeping the beauty alive for future generations, we want to use this opportunity by donating a percentage of sales to

The Surfrider Foundation - which is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the worlds oceans, waves, and beaches for all people through a powerful activist network.

The ocean has always played a distinct role in Kathleen Kaller’s world. As a child, the shores of Cape Cod provided creative ground where Kathleen wed her inner artist with her love of the ocean. She received a B.A. from Emerson College in Boston in film and art history. Kathleen honed her art and eye while living in the Netherlands and traveling throughout Europe. She continued her education and studied painting, textile design, art education and art therapy at Otis College in LA.

Now it is on the West Coast that she paints voraciously and with an innocent abandon. She continues to find the ocean her muse while residing in the seaside town of Ventura, CA. The influence of water is clear in the shapes she paints and one- of-a-kind textiles she designs. Her connection to nature inspires her to give back to environmental causes.

KMOK (Kathleen Mary O'Connell Kaller) her artist signature, has become a passion project intertwining all her of loves of painting, textile design, nature and teaching. Believing wholeheartedly in the therapeutic power of art, Kathleen teaches workshops as part of her artistry. When she’s not working on KMOK, you can find Kathleen exploring the seaside with her family or teaching Art workshops to all ages.
