I was absolutely blown away by my new husband’s generous and thoughtful
gesture, and LOVE the portrait!!! It is an incredible likeness of the
original photo!!
Kathy is a phenomenal artist! I own 6 of her paintings including 2
portraits. Her work will live on and be in museums one day, she’s just
that good!
Kathy created the most beautiful portrait of my sweet girl, Olive! We refer to her painting as “Puppy in the Poppies” and it perfectly captures Olive’s personality. I can’t tell you how many people come in the house—friends, family, work people, etc—who stop to admire her portrait and then are expected to rub Olive’s ears and tell her how beautiful she and her picture are...we both beam from the compliments!! I’m so glad we had Kathy create this painting and it will always occupy a special place in whatever house I’m living in!.
by Sarah Hawkins, Denver, CO I am so in love with the portrait Kathy
did for my best friend. He lost his beloved doggie and I knew how
much she meant to him. I asked Kathy if she could do a portrait to
surprise him, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! Not only
does it look just like her and captures her sweet spirit, but she did
it so quickly and even included a personal note. I was tremendously
impressed with her talent and graciousness.
The portrait is beautiful!!! Thanks for everything. We will return I'm sure.
