Kay Novy (kkphoto1) Have always been interested in art in one form or another. Started out as a hairdresser, then oil and water color painter. Have taken many art classes, but it was a series of photography classes that I knew I was hooked! Love it. I have had my photos published in the local newspaper and for a local calendar, recently had a photo published in "Birds And Blooms" magazine. My art would be perfect for the home or office. Along with my FAA site you are visiting, you can also find me on Redbubble, Zazzle, Pinterest, Google+ and Twitter. Just google kay novy or kkphoto1 All photographs are copyrighted and owned by the artist Kay Novy (kkphoto1). Any exploration...
