Kathleen Arthur is an American portait painter. Her You Go, Girl project is a collection of anonymous women dressed to the hilt, often in vintage clothing and in contrast to the tasks they are performing. The paintings are given double entendre titles describing a wide range of personality characteristics seen in women. This collection is based on the historical paper doll concept where the clothes and accessories define the characters. It allows viewers to imagine themselves or a loved one in the portrait's place. This interactive element is unique and fosters a personal connection with collectors. Her main focus is on capable women, as she blends personal storytelling with universal themes.

       Arthur says that her artwork is heavily influenced by her deep Southern roots. She began private art lessons at the young age of 6 and continued to study under Nationally known artists throughout college.

      After college she enjoyed a 30-year career as an Official Court Reporter in Federal and State Courts, during which time she reported over 4,000 trials verbatim, including a few notorious trials from which TV episodes and books have been written. She says that she's "heard it all" and that truth really is stranger than fiction.  In 2017 she decided to return to her much slower-paced art studio. She has written and illustrated two books for children and one visual development book for babies. Her books have been distributed in underserved areas of Arizona, Title 1 schools, the Children's Museum of Phoenix and Tucson, and Boys and Girls Clubs across the state. Her artwork has been called nostalgic and uplifting, and she says that she is motivated by hearing the stories of how her art impacts people's lives.

        She is a member of the Southern Arizona Arts Guild and the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance. She is currently represented by Bizzy You boutique gallery and the Tucson Gallery.
