Kay Marcum has had a passion for painting and drawing all of her life. The majority of her life has been filled with her three boys and now their families.

In the early 70’s, Kay discovered porcelain painting. She has painted porcelain with Andreas Knoble in Germany, Linda Alexander, Kay Houston, Beverly Tucker, Alzora, Peggy Harrup, and Jane Marcks. She is a member of the State Federation of Porcelain Artists and teaches classes in portraits and roses.

In the 80’s she attended the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts where she excelled in the sculpting classes. She studied portraiture with Frank Covina and worked with Robert Summers. She discovered William Bouguereau and believes he is the best kept secret of the 20 th century. Kay is very creative and enjoys reproducing old masters paintings such as Bouguereau.

Kay has traveled and studied art throughout Europe, Mexico and the United States. Her works can be found in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, New York, and Germany. She paints portraits of people and animals by commission.

Kay loves to reproduce anything by the old masters providing it is under public domain.

Only some of Kay's artwork appears on this site. If a commissioned work/piece touches your heart/is of interest/appeals to you, please remember that it is likely something similar can be created for you.
