Kathy began working as a sign painter in
1976, before the advent of computer
generated vinyl lettering. Love of the art of
hand lettering combined with her enthusiastic
interest in history, and around 1990 she
began researching and producing period
signage. Many examples of her work can be
seen at living history events throughout the
midwestern United States. An article she
wrote on the history of signs in 18th and 19th
century North America was published in the
July/August 2006 issue of SignCraft Magazine.

Kathy discovered scrimshaw and produced
her first piece around 1979. Her work is
widely known and recognized for it's fine
detail. She has demonstrated her technique to
various groups and has taught classes on
scrimshaw at the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi,
Ohio.

Kathy now divides her artistic energies
between period signage and scrimshaw, and
finds them equally rewarding.
