From silent auctions to surprise gifts, I capture the heart (and snout) of your favorite animals in colorful, expressive art.

Hi, I’m Kat — a lifelong illustrator, creative strategist, and proud dog mom. For over 20 years, I’ve captured big ideas in boardrooms, and now I bring that same energy and attention to detail into the studio. I create custom pet portraits and commissioned artwork, drawing inspiration from personality, story, and beauty in everyday things. Whether it’s a beloved furry companion, a meaningful moment, or a concept you want brought to life, each piece is painted with care (and probably a little dog hair on my sleeve).
Whether it barks, meows, swims, slithers, or squawks — I can paint it. All pets welcome: fur,
feathers, fins, scales, shells, or antennae (yep, someone asked once).

Looking for an auction item people want to win?
I donate custom 10x10 pet portraits to fundraisers, galas, and community events — a personalized painting of their beloved furball (or fish... or iguana).
Big heart, bold brushstrokes — all for a good cause.

Current works in planning and production draw inspiration from Derby season—velvety red roses, elegant cocktails, and the strength and rhythm of champion horses paired with the graphic beauty of jockey silks.

“When I lost my sweet Rascal, I didn’t know how much I needed this gift until I opened it. Kat created a portrait that captured everything—his eyes, his little smile, and even his beloved toy alligator he carried everywhere. It brought me to tears in the best way. This isn’t just a drawing… it’s Rascal, forever with me. I’ll treasure it always.”


“I’ve always wanted a portrait of my dog that felt personal—not just a generic print of the breed. Kat absolutely nailed it. She captured my pup’s goofy spirit and lovable quirks in a way that makes me smile every time I look at it. It’s not just art—it’s him.”
