About

Kathy LeJeune
Horses and the western ways have always been Kathy's life. The love for Christ, her family, art and drawing are the loves of her heart. Kathy is a 64 year old Christian, wife, mother, grandmother and breast cancer survivor. She was born in California but grew up in southern Oklahoma with a little time here and there in Texas. Raised on the back of a horse she spent every minute of her days riding at local playdays, country roads and pastures. Most people that lived in Ardmore and surrounding towns in the 70's can probably recall seeing that scraggly girl on her paint pony all over town. When she wasn't riding horses she was drawing them. Kathy has no education in art so what she drew was just what pleased her.
As an adult the drawing was left behind when she married, became a mother and invested full time into raising three children to become intelligent, respectable and caring adults, as well, of course the love of horses also.
In 2009 Kathy was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and in 2010 was diagnosed cancer free.
When Kathy and her family moved to south Louisiana she began working in the school system and spent twenty years working with students until Covid closed schools across the country in 2020 and she found herself at home alone all day, an empty nester with nothing to do. God gave her a drawing tablet and blessed her with revisiting and striving to better her drawing ability as well as having family and friends to encourage {push} her. She joined an art association locally that same year and was recently elected as vice president and became chairman of the yearly show and sale they have each summer.
So here she is very thankful for her blessings and totally enjoying them!
