Kat McCall graduated from Converse in 1984. She was a beloved friend, mother, wife, teacher, nurse, sister, daughter, and Augusta-based watercolor artist. Kat officially started Kat McCall Papers | Mark the Moment in February 2018. She had no degree in business or marketing, or formal art training but always dreamed of building an art-based business. In September 2024, Kat died during Hurricane Helene. The Kat McCall Papers Team continues to carry out her vision by pairing her original artwork and design styles with new art and designs created by her student and protégés. We are grateful to exhibit a beautiful fine art print of an original Kat McCall watercolor in the silent auction at A Portrait of Converse on September 16. Thank you, Kat McCall Papers for supporting Converse and preserving Kat’s legacy. Tickets are available until September 4 at www.converse.edu/artauction.
