Kids 'n Training | Personalized Children's Art
For more than three decades, artist Fran Baggett has been capturing something every parent recognizes—the wonderful moment when a child imagines who they might become.
Whether it's a future doctor, teacher, firefighter, athlete, musician, military service member, or cowboy, Fran's paintings celebrate the dreams that fill childhood with hope and possibility. Every Kids 'n Training design begins as an original hand-painted illustration, lovingly created to inspire children and become treasured keepsakes for families.
What makes Kids 'n Training unique is the personal touch. Each print can be customized with details such as names, hair color, skin tone, Bible verses, and other options that make every keepsake as unique as the child who receives it.
Fran's artwork has been sold throughout the United States and internationally through retailers including Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels, as well as specialty gift shops and children's boutiques. Her paintings are also included in private collections, including those of Faith Hill, Randy Owen of Alabama, and Donald Keough, former president of Coca-Cola International.
Today, Fran continues to create each personalized print with the same purpose that inspired the very first Kids 'n Training painting:
To encourage children to dream big—and to remind them that someone believes in them.
Every print is personally signed and prepared by the artist before it leaves her studio.
"Children dream without limits. They imagine becoming doctors, artists, teachers, athletes, pilots, firefighters, and so much more. My hope is that every Kids 'n Training print reminds a child that those dreams matter—and reminds them that someone believes they can achieve them."
— Fran Baggett

It took six months to complete the painting due to extensive research. Some of the companies had gone out of business and others had not archived their early product labels.
Fran contacted these companies and even tracked down elderly employees who may have had some memory of early products. She traveled to several cities, where, with the owner's permission, she scavenged through boarded up sheds and storage areas seeking out original signs used during that period.
Each week, throughout the painting process, representatives from Coca-Cola and Bruno's visited Fran's studio to photograph her progress. These photographs were turned over to the University of Alabama in Birmingham, to make into a video presentation. This video was shown at the unveiling of the painting.
