Katie Calvert Art & Design

I always wanted to be an artist as a kid, but as I grew up I became afraid I would not be able to be successful as a fine artist. In college I took painting courses and earned a degree in Graphic Design, and after working as a graphic designer for a decade and becoming a stay at home mom, I still felt the pull to my oil paints. I began painting during nap times once again and count it as my happy place. I absolutely love when I am able to create products that combine my love of painting with my graphic design skills to create products that are meaningful and beautiful that I can share with others.

Don’t you LOVE eating fresh local produce when it’s in season? This project was born when I found myself wishing I had a knowledge of what fruits and vegetables were in season ahead of my trip to the local farmer’s market, so I could start meal planning based on what I found there.   I hand painted each piece of produce individually in oil, digitally scanned them in, and organized them into these gorgeous produce charts. I consulted with seasonal guides such as the USDA farmer’s schedules for Alabama to ensure accuracy.   I hope you experience a renewed excitement about shopping your local farmer's markets or for buying fresh produce in season! And the pretty design will add some fresh joy to your kitchen as well.
