Mainly known for her animal portraits - in particular her dog portraits, Kate also accepts portrait commissions of people too. She is widely known for her ability to capture the personality and essence of her subject matter in her signature vibrant colours. Her work is found in the homes of clients in Canada, United States, and Europe.
Due to the length of time these paintings take, only a limited number of commissions can be taken each year. Good photos are vital, please make sure you can provide excellent photos if you are interested in commissioning a portrait. The clearer the photographs are of the painting's subject, the better the painting will be.
All commissions are guaranteed therefore if Kate feels that she can not see enough in the photographs to paint a painting you will love, she will not take on the commission. Photos must be approved by Kate before a portrait commission is accepted.
