I'm Katy. I started painting as a stress reliever from my day job and because I had a blank canvas and brushes left over from a short stint as an art major. When I finished the first piece, the thought of naming it something like, "Floral No. 1" made me cringe. So I named it "Awfully Uppity for a 5 at Best," and the rest is history.

I paint large canvases with bright colors - mostly forals, but I'm branching out into Low Country doors, nudes and abstracts. Then I give them names that make me laugh.
