Hello, I'm Kate Denniston and I am mostly self-taught as an artist.   I have been painting for over 10 years and have my work in many private collections.  My great love for animals prompted me to begin painting people's pets and horses, and I've found great joy in doing so.  It's such a positive experience as all of my clients love their pets as much as I love mine. They truly are the loves of our lives!   





I live in upstate New York in the Catskill Mountains with my husband Doug and my schipperke Margee.  My studio is the upper right-hand window.







This is my schipperke Margee who is 17 years old.  She still walks with me in the park every day, (and gets upset when we can't go!) but sleeps a bit more than she used to.  She is my beloved companion and a good girl, too!  I've just finished a painting using this photograph and will post it soon.
