Kathy Owen
My name is Kathy, and I’ve been creating, painting, and reinventing old stuff for as long as I can remember. I enjoy decorating my home with the things I paint and create. I also decorate with stuff I find on junking trips. My favorite shopping spots are junk stores, flea markets, and salvage yards,
