INKY PORTRAITS

Full diploma for the Marin Waldorf School 2021 graduates with red illuminated M in a mid-century style on blue shield by Katie Leavens

2020 | Private commission

When your dogs are your babies, you need portraits of them on your walls. This client reached out for a group of illustrations of their two current dogs, and one who had passed away recently. They loved them so much, when they adopted another they came back for another!

2015 | Private commission

A client reached out to me to create a portrait of her husband & his dog. He is a designer who loves plaids, working with his hands & the outdoors. I decided on a traditional media with strong, graphic style to reflect his personality. The sumi ink creates a rich contrast that is softened by a red watercolor wash.
