About Kathy Poitras:
Kathy Poitras was so immersed in her own imagination that she barely made it out of kindergarten. She was always busily imagining a magical world around her.

Though she knew she was an artist, there were many barriers to face. It wasn't until Kathy's early thirties she actually started painting. She has sold over 300 original paintings and countless handmade art cards, and reproductions of her work.

Kathy is inspired by her own emotions and the beauty and joy she sees around her. Her mediums include watercolor, acrylic, hand embroidery, beads, and appliqué as well as pen and ink. All of Kathy’s color your own images are inspired by her own paintings and created by hand. As well as painting Kathy enjoys sharing her experiences, inspiration, and expertise with others.
