Commissions
I collaborate with clients to create meaningful, customized paintings. Before starting, we discuss subjects and display locations, working through several comps until a direction is chosen. Once agreed, I begin painting, and the finished work often elicits strong emotions.
CORA (Central Oregon Radiology Associates)
For CORA's Westside renovation, I worked with the Architect to design custom artwork by touring the site and choosing locations and themes. I photographed rooms, created an art overview, and, after approvals, produced ten pieces including paintings and prints. Patients have responded positively to the calming nature scenes.
Family Home in Norway
My client commissioned a painting of her husband's family vacation home in Norway, using old photos as references. The finished artwork captured fond memories, and both she and her husband loved it.

Good Memories and Lasting Joy
Libby, my client, commissioned a painting to display above her fireplace that beautifully complements our home. The piece portrays a town in Lofoten, Norway—the special place where Bjorn proposed to Libby.
Libby shares, “Kathy captured both the spirit and atmosphere of the scene so well. We love having the painting in our home and continue to admire its beauty every day. It brings us lasting joy. If you're looking for unique and meaningful art, I enthusiastically recommend Kathy’s work.”

Gifts for the Family
For Christmas, my client commissioned an original painting depicting the view from the backyard of her Black Butte Ranch residence. Her extended family convenes at this home during the holidays and shares many meaningful memories there. In addition to the painting, she ordered ten prints for gifts to family members. Both the painting and prints were exceptionally well received on Christmas Day.
