ARTIST STATEMENT
K. M. McWhorter grew up in Mobile, Alabama. She graduated from the University
of Alabama earning a B.S. in Biology and Math. Kay lives in Decatur,
Alabama, with her husband, Robert McWhorter, and a series of haughty
cats.
McWhorter is fascinated with the juxtaposition of color and nature and
words which she interprets in both realistic and experimental work.
She continues to enrich traditional calligraphy with extraordinary illuminated
letters. Kay also explores the combination of abstract watermedia with
evolving personal variations of pen and brush letters. Recent work includes
watercolors that reflect her joy in the world of nature without words
or letters as she looses herself in color.
