Kathy Vargas

Kathy Vargas (born 23 June 1950 in San Antonio, Texas) is an American photographer.

Kathy Vargas became interested in the hand-coloured photography around 1970. A few years later, while working on a documentary project about yard shrines in her home town of San Antonio, Texas, she began researching Mexican and pre-Columbian myths and literature, and to produce works based on a photographic 'magic realism' involving layering by multiple exposure and hand colouring (Marshall).

In 1993 she produced a portfolio titled, Revelaciones, and a year later was published in Nueva Luz photographic journal, volume 4#2 (En Foco, Bronx: 1994)

Kathy Vargas currently teaches in the art department at The University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, TX.
