K.M. McWhorter was raised in Mobile, Alabama, graduated from the University of Alabama and lives in Decatur, Alabama with her husband, Robert.

 In 1970, McWhorter fell in love with the lettering arts and in 1996 became interested in adding color and dimension to her work.  She then moved to exploring layers in her pieces using color, lettering and German Schlag leaf in various hues. Currently Kay’s profoundly personal abstract and realistic watercolors reflect her joy in the world of nature without words or letters as she loses herself in color. 

McWhorter’s earliest photographic endeavors at age seven were captured with a Brownie. From the beginning her work contained more about the natural world and less about people. As she developed compositional skills and interest in lighting, she fell in love with the photography itself and was thrilled to have her pictures published and juried into shows. 

The award winning work of K. M .McWhorter can be found in Huntsville, Alabama, at the Huntsville Art  League and in Decatur at the Willis Gray Gallery.  Her most recent honor has been the award of signature status by The Watercolor Society Of Alabama.
