Boy and Beloved Companion by Pawtraits by Katia in Birmingham

Hello, I'm Katia, an artist based in Staffordshire, UK. I specialize in creating vibrant custom pet portraits using pastels, capturing those special moments from clients' photographs. Commissioned work holds a profound significance for me—it's about infusing emotions into my art, forging a priceless connection. I thrive on challenges and seamlessly blend subjects for clients with multiple photos. In addition to pet portraits, I also create family portraits, capturing the unique dynamics of families, including kids, babies, and children with their beloved pets. Pawtraits by Katia was inspired when my family adopted a rescue little dog, Teddy, in 2018. From local to global recognition, my work resonates worldwide. In 2022, I proudly exhibited at the Museum of Cannock Chase, marking a significant milestone in my artistic journey.
