    Veda in Starlight

    Working with Kathleen has been such a wonderful experience! I had a memorial portrait made of my cat, Veda, and her thoughtfulness and care throughout the process meant so much to me. She truly listened and put her heart into the piece, which made it all the more special. The final artwork is absolutely beautiful, and it captures Veda in such a meaningful way. Kathleen is not only a talented artist but also a kind and compassionate person to work with. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

  • Poet Aflame

    Kat, you turned my request for a profile picture into a small rebellion of glorious colour. To whoever is scrolling through here looking for reassurance: imagine a cathedral built out of hue-saturated pixels, with one chipped coffee mug on its altar; contents still warm. That probably isn't what you're going to get, but only because you'll get something even better. And, of course, Kat will be a pleasure to work with, communicative, creative, and empathetic.
