Kathryn Irene Stewart, Born: Yreka, California, November 25, 1946. Raised in Scott Valley; attended Etna Elementary and Etna High School. Kathryn was raised to appreciate life in the country; the importance of working together, and using basic skills to make home a comfortable and safe harbor. At age six, dad brought home a piano for mom, and Kathryn's love affair with music began. The ability to play "by ear" was evident as she played for family gatherings, "jam-sessions," with groups; for weddings, funerals and church services. She married Daniel Stewart on June 28, 1963, and raised a daughter and two sons. (June 28, 2013, Daniel and Kathryn were honored by their kids with a 50th Anniversary/family reunion weekend!) Kathryn accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior in 1973. Learning to put aside 'self' and learn to accept all others just as they are, was the beginning of an awesome journey and Spiritual growth. The desire to touch other's lives included teaching basic elements of art to children and adults as well as helping unblock individuals - who for personal reasons could no longer create. Class values were easily compared to the values we need in our lives: God is our Creator - therefore, we were meant to be creative, with the individual tools and skills we possess. Her first published poetry was sparked by special sermons that resulted in awards from the International Society of Poets. as a writer, through poetry and letters to friends and loved ones, Kathryn's priority is to "keep in touch" and respond to those who need encouragement in their lives. This is how "An Artist's Touch" came to be. It is not a big book, but is filled with the love of art and creativity.
