Hello. I'm glad you visited my shop!
I'm Kate.
Art surrounded me from a young age. As a junior schoolgirl, my parents noticed my drawing skills and enrolled me in an art school. Since that time, my hobby has smoothly but purposefully grown into a profession and accompanies me all my life.
I see art in many things. In nature, music, food, cinema in silence, and especially in people - I like to observe them the most.
People are unique, special, attractive and repulsive, charismatic, wise and mysterious. And this is what I like to draw the most.
I am a graphic designer by education. I familiar with many techniques of painting, drawing, illustration and design. Everything you see in my shop is the author's work.
My favorite painting technique is watercolor. Its weightlessness, plasticity, transparency and the possibility of detailing make it possible to reveal the intricacies of the object depicted.
Since becoming a mother, my world has expanded significantly. I like to draw for my daughter and am interested in children's illustration.
You can order a portrait, illustration, landscape, digital portrait or illustration, as well as the design of printing products.
You can join my Instagram to see more of my new works, painting process and chronicles of my life.💚🤍

5 out of 5 starsKate did everything possible to deliver the picture in time for a birthday. Even after the post office scrambled the drawing, Kate found a way to get it to me on time. Her work is very unique and special and her loving way of capturing moments is reflected in the drawing.

5 out of 5 starsThis painting was well above and beyond what I could have imagined. I highly recommend this seller. I ordered a custom water color of me and my husband for our 5th anniversary, and could not have been more pleased. Thank you so much for lending us your talent. It is a gift our family will cherish for years to come.

5 out of 5 starsHands down the best gift I have ever given someone. Kate was super responsive and made the photo come to life. I am beyond happy with the results, it came out better than I hoped for and the time frame was super quick from beginning to end. She is incredibly talented and would recommend using her to commission more art work for the future!! Thank you Kate for creating something so magical that will last a lifetime. Making someone cry happy tears is a win!!

5 out of 5 starsI was having a challenging time finding an artist who would combine two different photos into one image and she was able to do that!! My significant other lost his dad ten years ago, and I wanted to give him a portrait of his dad with a current picture of him. From the start Kate was extremely helpful. She helped me narrow down the pictures to use that would be best for a portrait. It turned out great, and was a perfect gift. It took about 2.5 months from the day I ordered to the day I received it so be conscientious when you make your order.
