I combine my love for animals and love for art to create my life-like portraits. What sets me apart from other portrait artists is my ability to "read" your pet, look deep into their eyes and see the soul of the personality which resides in each and every individual animal, and then apply the love and emotion I feel on paper so that you will have a fine art portrait to cherish forever.
Here is how it works: After you purchase the size that you want your portrait to be, I will need 4-7 high quality, large, 300dpi photos of your pet. Please, NO flashes. Photos are best shot in natural light near a window or patio door. I like to work from a collection of photos, because that is how I gather information on your pet's personality and what makes them a unique individual. Please understand that the better the quality of the photos you supply, the better the end result will be. Since most of my portraits are cropped, I don't need a full body photo unless you have a special request. Good photos of the face are best, and a smart phone camera is perfect for taking these photos. Once I receive your payment, I will contact you to discuss your portrait and go over your photos or any requests you have. I work mostly in graphite on ivory paper, but I can add a section of color to make your portrait truly stand out.

5 out of 5 starsI was so excited to receive my note cards. The colors are even more vibrant in real life. It will be hard to give them away as gifts...I want to keep them for myself!

5 out of 5 starsI love all these notecards and though I bought them as a gift, it will be hard to let them go. Seller shipped quickly and everything was packed up very well.

5 out of 5 starsKathleen Rietz's art and professionalism is excellent. I proudly display many of her art pieces in my home. I was so excited to be able to have her art on cards to write messages to family and friends and share her incredible talent. Her turn around on getting her products to you is top notch. The beauty of her art and how she runs her business is best in class!

5 out of 5 starsI sent my mother a note on the pear card the day I got these and she said she might frame it. She loves pears and watercolor. These are museum quality cards. Truly lovely.

5 out of 5 starsI ordered an extra one of this print b/c it is so beautiful. Kate if you ever do a set of smaller cards all of the same design - my vote would be for this one (or split with the red amaryllis). Just beautiful!

5 out of 5 starsI know it's hard to imagine but these cards are even prettier in person. The quality of the card and envelope are so nice. Gorgeous work.
