Kat Portrait Studio

Excited to share one of the latest additions to my shop: Multiple pet, cats, in a classic style.

Custom Cat Portrait Painting: Hand-Painted Canvas Art from Photo https://etsy.me/3J6vBQh

Finally launched my Etsy shop. I can't believe how long it has taken me to get around to that. Starting with my custom close up pet portraits.

My process that turns any condition photo into artwork! Starting by digitally creating a sketch so that details and expressions are captured before digital painting. The final piece is produced on canvas, then enhanced with physical paint and texture, and finished with framing to hang and enjoy.

🐾 Pet Portraits, with a Fine Art Touch
These turned out beautifully—close-up portraits - each one meticulously digitally hand-painted, then printed on giclée canvas, and mounted on masonite for durability. I hand-finish each one with acrylics and varnish for depth, texture, and UV protection, then frame it in a simple black gallery-style frame—ready to hang and admire.

Old Photo Challenge
I came across this scratched and faded vintage photo on Unsplash and couldn’t resist giving it some love. With a bit of digital TLC (and time between projects!), it’s looking refreshed—while keeping all that vintage charm.

Have a favorite photo you’d love to revive? I can restore it—and even take care of printing and framing so it’s ready to display.Message me—I’d love to help bring it back to life.

The paint is dry, and this black cat portrait—next to a vibrant green lotus—is ready for its final touch before framing: a protective UV varnish to bring out the richness and keep it safe for years to come.

Swipe to see the brush textures up close. Every signature canvas piece in this series is hand-finished with paint for a true fine art feel.

More portraits coming soon—both ready-made and custom!

Playing around with some still life painting between projects

Floral Series. These are all created using photos during my trip to St. Louis over the summer while visiting St. Louis Botanical Garden. Painted, printed, framed, and displayed in my living room.

Portrait of "Naomi"

A scammer sent me a very low-resolution image of this little girl and requested a 16x20 painted portrait, framed, hand painted, the works. Of course, they couldn't pay by credit card, Zelle, or any usual method. Instead, they wanted to guide me through a bank transfer... yeah, right.

While I didn't fall for it, I had some fun afterwards creating a playful portrait based on the image.
