Kathy
Davis has always loved art. Having a career in a creative field
has been a life-long dream. As a child, Kathy enjoyed making all sorts
of things. She still has an early set of her own brand of paper dolls
as well as stories she wrote and illustrated. An entrepreneur from an
early age, she and a friend started a "business" making and
selling perfume to friends and neighbors, while only in the second grade.
All
through school, art class was her favorite. She decided to pursue an
education degree with an emphasis on art. She spent ten years as a teacher
of Art and English with students from all ages from kindergarten to
adults. Inspired by her students' work, she decided it was time to test
her own "creative wings." After taking a break from teaching
for motherhood, she continued her study of painting, calligraphy and
design.
Beginning her own company in 1990, Kathy launched several lines of greeting
cards with various publishers. Her ability to scatter joy by using expressive
art and thoughtful sentiment has captured today’s consumer. Starting
out with a small drawing table in the corner of her bedroom, she has
grown to become one of the industry's most respected talents.
Kathy’s art touches over 50 million consumers on a yearly basis!
"I am Woman, I am Invincible, I am Tired" is one of Kathy's
most popular designs. As a mother, designer, entrepreneur and author,
Kathy may get tired, but she never seems to slow down. With thousands
of designs on a wide range of products from greeting cards to apparel
to home decor items, Kathy's creativity continues to grow and flourish.
A favorite quote of hers, "The sky's the limit when your heart's
in it" speaks to her success. Kathy loves nature, and many of her
designs reflect her favorite subjects of sunshine, flowers and animals.
Her style is distinctive and her message is always uplifting. Inspiration
and humor often find their way into the original verse and quotations
that adorn her creations. Featuring soft watercolors to bold graphics,
Kathy's images make people feel good. Her understanding of people and
their need to communicate feelings makes writing greeting cards a natural
"labor of love" for her.
In fact, her mission to “Scatter Joy – Joy through Art,
Joy through Living, Joy through Giving!” pervades all aspects
of her art and her life.
You can find Kathy Davis products in charming gift stores and shops
all over the world.
A
native of the Philadelphia area, Kathy graduated from Hatboro-Horsham
High School, where she later taught art. She went on to receive an Elementary
Education degree from West Chester University and a Masters degree in
Art Education from Kutztown University. She lives in Horsham, PA with
her family and a menagerie of pets.
