\"Kath8\"<\/a>Meet Kathleen Taylor<\/a> of Alpharetta Georgia.  She is the whimsical spirit behind these heart warming & humorous art works.\"Kath1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

A portion of her bio reads, "I began drawing and coloring as soon as I could hold a crayon. My favorite subjects were family portraits and fashion illustrations. On Sundays I couldn’t wait for the NY Times to arrive so I could color the Hirschfeld drawing in the theater section of the paper. I still love to count the ‘Ninas’.<\/p>\n

\"Kath2_2\"<\/a>  <\/p>\n

My adult career took me everywhere that I didn’t expect to go. I started as a schoolteacher and subsequently tried my hand as a knitting fashion coordinator, photo stylist, needlecraft designer, children’s fashion designer and finally as a toy designer for Eden Toys. I was always thrilled to be paid for coloring and drawing.<\/p>\n

\"Kath7\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

In 1992 I created my own studio, Painted Pieces. I began designing and painting one of a kind pieces of antique furniture.The furniture business evolved into the framed prints you see here.<\/p>\n

\"Kath4_2\"<\/a> My subject matter has always been inspired by my life as a mother and wife and artist. Juggling those roles and trying to do each one well is a universal experience. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m grateful every day to be able to work at something I love."<\/p>\n
