Kay Life
Like Jackie French Koller, Kay Life has spent most of
her adult life working in the field of children's books but
unlike Jackie, Kay has spent those years illustrating
rather than writing. Two of her most
well known books are Muggie Maggie by Beverly Cleary
and Poppy's Chair, by Karen Hesse. It should come as
no surprise that Kay is also a gifted painter and fine
artist who has won many awards and accolades over
the years.
...Living, working, and raising Lifes in Westfield since
1957.
...Friendly with watercolor, oils, and pencil
...Partial to painting People, Animals, and Still Life (no
relation).
...Art educated by Westfield State College, Springfield
Quadrangle, Northampton Illustrators Studio, and MA
College of Art.
"Faces are my passion," says Kay, "and colors bring
joy!"
