My name is Kathleen Bryan, and I am an artist from Scottsboro, Alabama. I started Cotton and Camellia as an outlet to express the things that bring me life, bring me joy, and bring me comfort. I started by painting with acrylic paints and doing single images, but more recently have moved into creating collections of repeating patterns. I now use a combination of acrylic painting and Photoshop for my artwork. I grew up on a farm, and my Bachelor’s degree is in Animal Science, which has definitely influenced some of my earlier artwork. Today I am mostly inspired by nature, and it is expressed in the themes of my designs.
