athryn Beals is a registered dog artist at the American Kennel Club's Museum of the Dog. This artist paints portraits on canvas of dogs, horses and all other pets from photographs.
Note: BealsStudios.com will be on hiatus from May 1 - September 1 while Kathryn is traveling. Please submit portrait orders by April 18 if you would like your portrait to be complete by May 15.

They can choose and submit their own photos for their portrait up to one year later. Portrait prices will increase in May 2008 so it's a great time to order now.
Kathryn specializes in a distinctive pet portrait style with an emphasis on warmth and character. She believes the secret of a compelling pet portrait is in the expression in the eyes. Kathryn hand-paints portraits on the highest quality stretched canvas, using paint made in the USA. You can watch her paintings step-by-step on her art technique blog.
Kathryn's portraits are fully guaranteed and are shipped worldwide. These original paintings make a classy and memorable gift that will last a lifetime. Commission a portrait using your own photos, or purchase a gift certificate and let your recipient choose the perfect pose for their painting.
If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can visit a display of Kathryn's dog portraits at the Pride and Pedigree Gallery in Oakland, California starting December 13, 2007 to January 31, 2008.
