About The Artist

I am a professional artist specialising in photorealistic art, primarily working with pastels. I create highly detailed, bespoke portraits of pets, horses, wildlife, children, and people, including wedding portraits, using customers' photographs as my reference. Based in Norton Canes, Cannock, Staffordshire, I work with private clients on a commission basis.

My love for animals and passion for art led me to start painting in 2018, after we rescued our dog, Teddy. Inspired by the response to his portrait, my husband encouraged me to pursue art professionally, and thus, Pawtraits by Katia was born. While I send my artwork to clients worldwide, I am incredibly grateful for the continued support from my local community in Cannock and the surrounding areas.

In both 2022 and 2024, I had the honour of holding personal art exhibitions at the Museum of Cannock Chase, an experience that brought immense joy and pride to my journey as an artist.
