"While I paint, I focus on my mission to bring beauty into the world that did not exist before."
Kay Allenbaugh is an Oregon watercolor artist and the national best-selling author of the Chocolate for a Woman's Soul series — Thirteen books. Close to 3,000,000 books sold, plus translated in 18 languages. Each book collects true, heartfelt stories from women across the country. The joy she found writing them carries straight into her paintings: "Inspiration feeds my soul, whether from art or books."
She lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon, with her husband Eric — a retired leadership consultant, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of Wake-Up Calls and Deliberate Success (more at Allenbaugh.com) — and their two dogs, Buddy and Lucy. Grown sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren round out the family.
