About this author

Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute of Art, Rhode Island School of Design ... I have walked by all these schools of fine art.
I have attended none of them.
I’ve always been creative but never thought I could earn my
living as an artist. I could write though, so after graduating from Boston University I went into
public relations and advertising. After getting fired six or seven times, I figured I should be working for myself. Plus, I hated
wearing panty hose.
In 1986 I started my company Dirty Dishes, selling my hand painted ceramics nationwide. In 1990, I began focusing on

“Uncertainty is everywhere. But I am living in the midst of the uncertainty and risk, amid things that can and do bring physical destruction, because I am running from things that can destroy my soul, complacency, comfort and ignorance. I am much more terrified of living a comfortable life in a self serving society and failing to follow Jesus than I am of any illness or tragedy.”
Katie Davis, Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption

“Adoption is wonderful and beautiful and the greatest blessing I have ever experienced. Adoption is also difficult and painful. Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption.”
Katie Davis, Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption

“God's plan is usually pretty great. It is a whole lot better than mine anyway. I am so glad that He does not allow me to win.”
