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

  “After building our first home, we commissioned Kathleen to do a pen and ink drawing from a photo I e-mailed to her. Not sure what to really expect, I must say we were pleasantly surprised. It was beautiful and very realistic. A few years later we commissioned her again for our lake house. Once again she exceeded our expectations.

“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

“What I like about the appetizer plate is it looks like a work of art, and is a a piece I can display, and is of practical use, too. What drew me to the product was the intricate detail, and interesting subject matter.

She keeps her appointments, communicates her plans and makes sure

For me, her fine art rendering has made a beautiful gift & memory that will last for generations. Besides Kathleen’s fine art renderings, the selection of hand drawn gift cards are personal & unique.

“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

“Kathleen understands the depth of her work and her integrity is very apparent in her renderings. 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. They needed to downsize, so my siblings and I commissioned Kathleen to create an illustration of their home as a keepsake to take with them to their new place. The final piece was incredible!  Kathleen’s ability to capture the
