5 out of 5 starsThere was bit of an issue with getting it, not the seller's fault. They did take care of it promptly and with wonderful customer service which was appreciated. The art work is amazing, it's such a beautiful picture, I love it!

About TheContraryCaptain
Hiya!
I am a half-Scottish illustrator and graphic artist living in Maryland, with a love of ink, color, and design.

CAT PASCHAL DOLCH is a graphic and fine artist who lives and works in Annapolis, MD, USA. She received her BFA from Salisbury University. She works primarily in ink, watercolor, and acrylic with an illustrative style channeling the organic lines found in woodcut, printmaking, and (always the graphic artist) combining this with a symbolic color palette and challenging, dynamic layouts. In 2009, Cat founded Captain Marketing Solutions, which has provided her the opportunity to work with a range of commercial clients.
