About

I’m a professionally trained artist and a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in <LOCATION>. With over 6 years in business as a solo artist, I’m known for my attention to detail, strong color harmony, and the emotion I bring to each piece. I currently work in pastels and colored pencil, and flowers are among my most requested subjects. I specialize in: - People portraits - Pets and people with their pets - Nature and wildlife - Florals Each artwork is presented with a white mat and a protective cellophane sleeve, ready to be framed. If you’re looking for a meaningful, custom portrait or fine art piece, I’d be happy to create something special for you.

Not sure why you would accept the preliminary sketch, approve the art and agree to pay if you were not satisfied.

Catherine is beyond amazing! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Made my makeup and skin look flawless for my wedding, and the look was natural, which was exactly what I wanted. Hired her again to do my daughter’s make-up for her sweet 16 and again, she did a phenomenal job! Anyone that hires her is in the best hands!

Thank you Mary! I’m glad Marissa was happy! Hope to see you again soon!
