She was able to meet my early deadline so I could personally give the illustration to my sister when she visited before the holidays. Working from a photo, not only were the horses’ features well portrayed but Kathleen also captured the essence of their personalities.

“My parents’ home has been in our family for more than 60 years and was previously owned by my maternal grandparents.

“With a life-long interest in Abraham Lincoln, Kathleen contacted the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2004 to ask for their permission to do an architectural pen and ink drawing of President Lincoln’s Cottage, a national monument in Washington, D.C.  Wanting to support the preservation effort and give back through her artwork, on September 23, 2005, Kathleen proudly presented three

“I would have to say I love Kathleen’s detail! She has such an eye for architecture and design and was able to take a one dimensional floor plan and turn it into living art. She made my phone ring with leads from the drawing she did for me. I love her holiday tree hanging pieces and have been collecting them

“We love Kathleen’s illustration of Strawberry Moon! The illustration captures the aura of the original 19th century building, as well as our contemporary martini bar – it says “walk right in”. We have kept the illustration and the matching white slate plaque on display unstairs – and enjoy the functional rendering on our set of coasters at home. It was

“I wanted to give my husband a unique gift for his birthday. Since we have no kids of our own, our cat and three terriers make up our family. Having four pets make it virtually impossible for them to be altogether poised for a nice photograph. So, I commissioned Kathleen to paint a watercolor of all my pets together in
