Kathy B - Alabama Caricature Artists

Kathy has been drawing since she was a small child. She grew up in beautiful Bucks County Pennsylvania which is known for producing artists, and she majored In Art in high school and Fine Art in college. As a teen she got her sketch drawn which is what interested her in caricature. So you never know - one sketch could change your life! 

Kathy earned a degree in Fine Art from Bucks County Community College in 1993.  She began drawing caricatures professionally in 1999 at Sesame Place, a theme park in Langhorne, PA. Shortly after that Kathy got her first caricature concession working at Peddlers’ village in Lahaska, PA, in 2000, drawing caricatures live for families, couples and tourists. As the only artist there, she learned how to be very fast in order to keep lines down and the kiddies happy. 

In 2007 Kathy moved to Las Vegas where she began drawing at Fremont Street Experience and soon became the top producer, breaking all previous sales records. Over time she worked her way up in the company. During her stint in Vegas, Kathy drew at every major casino multiple times, at many corporate events and parties for the rich and famous as well as for regular tourists. She prides herself on treating everyone the same. Some of the casinos she worked at include The Paris, The Venetian, Hard Rock, Flamingo, MGM Grand, Bellagio, Treasure Island, New York New York, Vedara, Planet Hollywood, The Mirage, Harrah’s, Mandalay Bay, Tropicana, Caesar’s Palace, The Wynn, The Encore. Aria, Westin, Hilton Grand, and much much more. She also worked at many smaller private events and for many large brands. 

Kathy married Buddy Rose, “the Godfather of Caricature”, stayed in Vegas for ten years and then sold her caricature concession when he passed away, and moved to the gulf coast to be closer to family. Kathy currently works as a freelance caricaturist in the greater gulf coast area. She is also homeschooling her three kids, all of whom show a penchant for art. Kathy couldn’t be more proud! Two of her kids have special needs, and people with special needs are especially close to her heart.

Kathy is now remarried to a minister and they have a house church in their home where all are welcome. She gives all glory to God!
