Kathryn's children's booksMy books grew out of my experiences creating with my sons, Ryan and Kevin, and my work leading studio classes at Art at the Center, a studio lab for children and families. The titles are designed to offer inspiration and ideas for families for working with art materials.
I love the moments of discovery and joy in the creative process. I encourage parents to work alongside their children, to join in the experimentation and discovery in working with materials. Much of what I do involves de-mystifying artistic process and helping people get started. My picture books are designed to be shared by parents and children. They tell stories of making prints and collages designed to inspire readers to make their own creations. Visit my ETSY site to purchase books.
