A semi-retired elementary school teacher, Kathy now enjoys writing and illustrating early chapter books about animals who learn valuable character qualities.

Her fun, animal adventures in the Bandana Acres series will appeal to first and second-graders and as read-aloud books to pre-schoolers. Soft, watercolor illustrations have been a source of joy for Kathy to draw and paint.

Other activities she enjoys are managing her own publishing company, Chickadee Words, working part-time, teaching, artwork, reading, gardening, and baking. She has a keen interest in art and has designed and created architectural stained glass windows for 35 years for homes and businesses.

She currently lives in the Kansas City, Missouri area with her husband of 36 years and their dog, Taz.
