Each portrait is individually designed and handcrafted,
so I accept a limited number of commissions each month.

Custom paintings that celebrate the animals who share your life.

From Snapshots to

Something Extraordinary

YOU DON'T NEED PERFECT PHOTOS.

Most horse, dog, and cat portraits begin with everyday snapshots. I'll help you choose the best ones, combine the details that matter most, and create a one-of-a-kind painting that captures not just how they looked—but who they are.

Every portrait is individually designed for you and handcrafted into original artwork. Never a filter. Never a one-click AI image.

Designed Around
Your Story 

A custom painting should be more than a copy of a photograph.

Together, we'll create something that feels unmistakably yours—incorporating the places you love, the colors of your home, and the details that make your horse, dog, or cat one of a kind. The result is artwork that doesn't just resemble them—it belongs in your life.



upload photos

Send the photos you love—yes, even the "bad" ones.

We'll talk about style, setting, color, and the feeling you want this to carry.

I ask questions. You share stories. By the end, every detail is clear.



1

approve the draft

Before any oils are applied, you'll see exactly what the finished portrait will look like—their expression, the colors, the whole composition.

Nothing moves forward until you say, "That's them."



2

receive your portrait

Within 6–8 weeks, your custom mixed-media oil painting arrives—ready to become part of your home.

And every time you walk past, it stops you.

This is the piece you'll never take down.

How It Works

Let's begin a conversation

WE DO THIS TOGETHER.

A Home Should Tell Your Story

Your home is more than a collection of beautiful things. It's a reflection of the life you've built and the ones you love. A custom painting becomes part of that story—a daily reminder of the horse who carried you, the dog who greeted you at the door, or the cat who always found the sunny spot beside you. Because the people—and animals—we love never go out of style.     Ready to start?

"We knew Bruce Wayne was slowing down. He's been with us since before we were married—through job changes, moves, everything. I wasn't ready to lose him, and I wanted to remember him like this. Full of life. Still that goofy, lovable guy.

When the portrait arrived, I cried. Kathy captured him perfectly—his expression, his energy... This will always be part of our home. Long after he's gone."

"I am SPEECHLESS.  Now, that this portrait resides in my home with me, it's like she was always here. This version of me that Kathy Morley sees, reminds me to see myself with the same eyes.

There is something magic in Kathy's work, both in her incredible fine artistry and in her ability to imbue her work with a certain otherworldly essence. 

It's like she knew what my house looked like, too!  Thank you Kathy for touching my heart & reminding me of something so special inside, I cannot put it into words!"

"I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Lily. I don't think I ever will be. But having her portrait in my living room—ears up, running down the dock, that proud look she always had—it's like she's still here with us.

Every morning when I come downstairs, I see her. And it helps."

"Luna was my constant companion for 16 years. I sent Kathy probably 50 photos—closeups, far away, blurry ones from when she was a kitten.
She somehow pulled it all together into this stunning portrait that looks exactly like her.
It's not just a painting. It's Luna. I cry every time I look at it, but in a good way."

"You would never know that that was not painted with my daughter in front of you. It is so her. Down to every detail. Her smile, her daintiness, the way she sat. Her hands, the way her legs are crossed. There's nothing I would change.

It's like having her here.

There's no more 'one more.' But I feel like I got one more—and it's my favorite.
I think she would love it. I feel like she's saying, 'Mom...that's the best painting of me.' She'd love it."

"I wanted to give my wife something meaningful for her birthday—not jewelry, not a trip, but something that said 'I see you.' Kathy painted her in a garden  surrounded by the colors and flowers she loves. When she saw it, she was stunned.

Best gift I've ever given."
