throughout the south where she discovered a cultural
awakening. She ended her tour in Virginia where she opened a
hat shop called "The Hat Attack". The shop reflected her
love of hats, which she later incorporated in her art. Kip
later returned to Missouri and graduated from Missouri
Southern State University with an Associate in Law

Parole, and while there earned a Masters degree in Public
Administration. Longing for the south, Kip moved to South

discovered painting. In her paintings, Kip displays the love
for bright colors and the cultural lessons learned in her
travels. She has a long term affection for humor in her
designs, which gives her pleasure and a means to share her
joy with others. She is featured in various galleries
throughout the South.
