Canadian Parliament Building painting

Creating original hand-painted art that will be treasured for years to come.

Artwork

It is simply the best to be trusted to depict deeply meaningful subject matter—Home Portraits, Pet Portraits, and Story Portraits—in an artistic way. And not just any ol' way; the best way. The magical way when watercolour meets sketching (and if you're here visiting...chances are you're a fan of this style too!)

Testimonials

We have worked with Katrina for the last 2 years and couldn’t be happier with the work that she has provided for us. Her home portraits have been a huge hit with our customers. We have loved them so much that a few of us have even ordered them for our own personal homes. Katrina will produce a beautiful piece of artwork that will be treasured for a lifetime.

As we planned to move on from our family home of 30 years, I was trying to think of something impactful I could give my family to hold the memories of a house we all love. When I saw Katrina's work, I knew immediately that we needed one. The painting turned out perfect. Tears were shed when I presented the artwork to my family at Christmas. It will be a treasured keepsake for many years to come!

Katrina you're so gifted—thank you so much, we love this picture of Georgie. We can't wait to see Holly's. The kids loved it too—they wanted it in their room. So amazing. Thank you!

I wholeheartedly recommend Katrina—she is an exceptional artist and person. We commissioned her to create a watercolour painting of my mother's home of 60 years when we relocated her from Ontario to B.C. The result was so touching there wasn't a dry eye in the room when we presented it to my mom. Subsequently, I commissioned Katrina to paint all three of the homes my wife and I have shared, and I gave it to her as a Christmas present and it was an absolute hit. In fact, it went over so well that I even had mini prints made for all our kids. Katrina's work is outstanding (and precise) and she is a pleasure to work with every step of the way.
