Music and Dance are "Fuel" for my soul. They also fuel my creativity.

My mom in sepia toned watercolors. It was from a photo my dad has in his wallet with creases since he has kept it there for who knows how long. They've been married 56 years and this was before they were married. She had auburn hair so the color works for her real hair color. This was an interesting study of trying to stay in that tone.
I love making art. I love my family, Jonathan, husband of 32 years this May, 5 great children and 3 great kids-in- law, one terrific grandson, and my mom and dad. I was raised in Mi. with a love and appreciation of nature. We lived in Dearborn and later, Livonia when I was younger, but had a cottage "up north" on Lake Charlevoix. That was my heaven. We moved to Charlevoix when I was in 7th grade. When I graduated I lived in Ann Arbor for 18 years. Through college, having kids, and then we moved back to Charlevoix. I love both Charlevoix and Ann Arbor and wish I could afford a place in both towns. I have been doing art for a long time, but about 12 years seriously trying to " get it out there". I have a web site which is www.kathrynmays.com so check it out sometime. I love to learn new things and hear new ideas. And yet I have a hard time with change. Like my kids moving away, or moving to a different house or a loved one being sick and changing.
