About

Hello! I'm Cathi, an artist and illustrator living in beautiful sunny Southern California. I love dogs (and their people), and it makes me so happy to serve the dog community with my art.

I've been making art for over two decades: children's books, toys, greeting cards, you name it. But somewhere along the way, my art went to the dogs — and I couldn't be happier about it! 🐾

My own pups, Ted (the Shih Tzu) and Frida (the Pekingese), were my original muses and the ones who started it all. Though they've since crossed the rainbow bridge, their spirit lives on in every portrait and plate I create. Every dog I draw carries a little piece of them.

I create special, one-of-a-kind portraits, heirloom portrait plates, and original works of art — and I pour my whole heart into each one — because you deserve nothing less. Have something custom in mind that you don't see listed? Drop me a message! I'd absolutely love to hear from you. 🐶
