In addition to her fanarts Kathy has also engaged in other fan activities, costuming had been an interest since childhood and the Masquerade was the perfect venue to continue in this interest.

At 18, Kathy was drawn into Star Trek fandom which lead to attending her first SF WorldCon in 1967. She also contributed artwork to fanzines such as Spockanalia and Plak-Tow and published her own fanzine Galileo 7.
