Katherine (“Kat”) McCall was a beloved friend, mother, wife, teacher, nurse, sister, daughter, and Augusta-based watercolor artist. Kat officially started Kat McCall Papers February 2018 at the age of 56. It was a second career for her and was one of the hardest and most challenging but also the most rewarding things she had ever done. Kat had no degree in business or marketing, or formal art training but always dreamed of building a business based on art.

It all started with original watercolor paintings by Kat McCall and her dream of telling stories, building traditions, and creating memories. Her brush strokes and keen design eye laid the foundation for sharing artwork with the ones she loved. 

Her original paintings for homes and luxury paper goods have earned a loyal client base from Los Angeles to New York and many places in between. Kat worked with many world - recognized organizations including but not limited to The New York Botanical Gardens, Blade and Bow Bourbon, Kevin’s Fine Outdoor Gear and Apparel, The American Ballet Theatre, Garden and Gun Magazine, and Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon.

In September 2024, Kat died during Hurricane Helene, leaving the legacy of Kat McCall Papers. Carrying on her vision, the Team has continued by pairing original artwork and design styles by Kat with new art and designs created by her student and protégés. We continue to create commissioned art and custom designs, reflective of the essence & heart of Kat’s work.

We continue to use Kat's “3 legged” foundational stool of things she thought essential to us as humans - relationships, art, and the natural world. She believed we all need to encourage these 3 things to help us be more human. 

And that is what the Kat McCall Papers Team want our art/business/life focus to be on - encouraging ourselves and others to make time for enduring relationships, exposure to the natural world, and art in any format. These things do not have to be an “extra” thing we add to our day but rather a deepening of the areas in which we already engage. We want to serve and inspire others with tools and ideas of how to do this. So it is a continual building and honing of how we can best do this for others and how to encourage ourselves and others.

Originally crafted for personal stationery, our designs and art have grown to encompass a variety of products, incorporating art into everyday life. We offer a wide range of bridal and event suites, hosting essentials & gifts, fine art prints, fashion goods, and more. We always strive to mark the moments in our client's lives as beautiful and meaningful.
