A graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio, Kate Baur has been an artist and animal lover all her life.  Visit her web site, www.k8studios.com, and you can view her gallery of furry friends, including her favorite subject, her dog Lucky!  Kate’s custom watercolor pet portraits are created from photos you take of your four-legged best friend, whether it’s a dog, cat, horse or another pet.  (Kate has tips on taking photos on her web site.)  Kate’s gift is her ability to capture the essence of your perfect friend, your beloved pet.  Honor your favorite companion with a painting that is not only a celebration but also a special piece of artwork!
