5 out of 5 starsWe're absolutely in love with our dog portrait! The background was color customized and our dog's personality shines through the painting. I'm so glad I finally placed the order. Thank you!!!

5 out of 5 starsThis is the 3rd painting that I had done and I was not disappointed. It is amazing. This was for my daughter-in-law whose father passed away earlier this year. She loves it and of course cried when she saw the painting. Cathy's paintings are wonderful and true to the picture that she is seeing. I received it in plenty of time for Christmas.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second portrait that I had done and I am over the moon. This is my granddaughter with her brother Miles. She was thrilled to receive it and just smiled and smiled. It looks so much like the picture. I can't praise Cathy's talent enough.

5 out of 5 starsCathy is a very talented artist. The oil painting of Miles is so realistic from the pictures that I sent to her. It is AWESOME! I couldn't be happier on how it turned out. The painting was completed in a very timely manner. This painting is a gift for my son and wife and when I showed it to my granddaughter she just broke out in the biggest smile and was so excited to see. She called him brother. I'll definitely be ordering another custom painting!!

5 out of 5 starsWow! Seriously, I'm amazed. Catherine completed my custom painting in a very timely manner. When it arrived I just cried lol. It was so touching and emotional seeing my photograph come to life. Our conversations were detailed and very easy. Catherine made this so easy! I'll definitely be ordering another custom painting!!

5 out of 5 starsCathy did an INCREDIBLE job. The painting looks just like the photo I sent her, but with that extra flair to make it special.
Her communication was really great. I didn't know exactly what style I wanted, but she gave me a few ideas and made me feel very comfortable.
I had this painting made as a gift, and Cathy even included a birthday card for me! My friend loves her new piece of art to remember her beloved Simon. -

About CatherinesStudioArt
My Love of Nature
These paintings express the beautiful inspirations we get from nature and our life experiences. Here you will find paintings made for those who share the same love of nature and art that I do. They are created with oil paints on various substrates ranging from canvas to wood. Efforts are made to work with Eco-friendly resources whenever possible.
My background experience began with a bachelors in art in 1996, with continued learning and sharing of ideas with various art groups and associations, such as American Impressionists Society, Traditional Oil Painting, Portraits and Figure Artists and local groups like Frankfort Arts Association. My family supports and inspires me, and I wouldn't be able to do this without them.
