Welcome
I have been painting for more than thirty years. I have led a nomadic lifestyle, worked as a writer/editor and more recently as a life coach, but always enjoy returning to my first love: creating portraits of clients and their beloved animals.
“You really are gifted, you capture the soul of all you draw and paint.” Miriam P.
“The whole process from start to finish was incredibly easy and painless as well as being enormous fun as Kate is an absolute joy to work with.”
“It’s so much better than I thought it was going to be; it’s actually incredible!!”

My sister, Clare Ellwood, has just created arguably the BEST Jubilee cake! Isn't it amazing?!
Once you've commissioned a portrait get Clare to make you one of her phenomenal cakes. 😉 The centrepiece of any occasion!

Had a small gap in commissions so painted our beloved Mabel. Ably assisted by my cousin Clive, over from Oz, who really is the most amazing photographer. Getting the right angle and a photo that totally captures them is all important!

A detail from a recent very large commission for five Norfolk terriers. They really do have the sweetest, most expressive faces 🥰

People ask why I don't paint in oil any more... 🙄
We had whippets as children so it was a delight to paint this absolutely beautiful boy. Commissioned by a lovely client as a present to celebrate her son's 18th. 🥰

Delighted to show you one of my latest commissions of a really beautiful spaniel. I'm getting quite booked up but still have a few available slots if you would like a portrait of your beloved pet for yourself or as a great present!
