I am Katherine J. Ford, a watercolorist practicing watercolor painting for over 20 years. My background as a Quality Assurance Manager has honed my attention to detail, which I apply to my watercolor paintings.

For two decades, I created Christmas cards for my husband’s home repair business clients, and in 2018, I entered the art market, presenting my original pieces at outdoor art shows and exhibitions. My enthusiasm for fly fishing and my role in educating newcomers through the Lineworkers have greatly influenced my artwork, capturing moments from journeys such as my unforgettable trip to Italy.

I take joy in painting subjects from nature and those crafted by human hands, particularly those that convey a narrative. I hold the belief that each painting is destined for someone who will cherish its distinct beauty and the happiness it embodies.

Discover my collection and allow my paintings to infuse your space with tranquility and a sense of adventure.

Papa Dave, as the grandchildren affectionately call him, is the engineer among us. He meticulously cuts the paper, aligns the pages, frames the pictures, arranges the storage, transports materials, prepares meals, and manages the household, providing me with the time and space for my creative endeavors. He is my most ardent admirer, my pillar of support, and the one who prays for our family’s direction. Without him, my doodles would remain mere pastimes at work.
