Author Biography
Having worked as a home caregiver, office temp, house painter, stagehand, freelance designer, university teacher, gallery director, grocery bagger, editor, and at a few other assorted jobs, Kathryn Sparks took the leap into self-reinvention as an artist to see if there might be a way to better integrate her life adventures with the abiding passion for creative pursuits. As an artist and writer, she works in a wide variety of media and modes; her themes and interests wander from the curiously childlike to the embarrassingly earthy, through glimpses of the sweet and ethereal, and right on into the realm of the cheerfully macabre. Despite her excellent upbringing and continued living among highly cultured and intelligent people, she has been consistently supported and even encouraged in these happy pursuits, and the book you hold in your hands is a product of such profligate sustenance and inexplicable enthusiasm. You can also find her daily blog online at www.kiwsparks.wordpress.com.
