Kathleen Kemly: "Wherever I go, my sketchbook is always close at hand. People are endlessly fascinating subjects -- in coffee shops, airports, on the bus or standing in line ... In the studio, my sketches are a springboard for paintings. As a painter, form, color and narrative are what interest me. Using acrylics and various scrounged bits of paper, I find my way into the painting by switching back and forth between painting and collage. The artists I continually turn to for inspiration are Pierre Bonnard, Richard Deibenkorn and David Hockney ... I received my BFA at Parsons School of Design in NYC and have continued my education at the Gage Academy in Seattle. My work includes illustrating many award-winning Children's Books; most recently, Molly, By Golly!"
"The illustrations are done in watercolor"--Title page verso.
Introduces the first known female firefighter, Molly Williams, an African American cook for New York City's Fire Company 11, who one winter day in 1818 with many volunteers sick with influenza jumped into action to stop a house fire.
