Ever glanced into an animal's eyes and sensed the depth of unconditional love and captivating emotions that lie beneath those glassy marble spheres?  That is the perception that Katie reproduces through her artistry.  As a realist, she uses warm tones, soft texture, and her own loving connection with animals to enhance the deep soulful expressions in the animal's eyes.  Primarily, she uses acrylic on canvas and pastel on paper to achieve these life-like images.
