About Katia Holmes

My name is Katia Holmes.

I am an artist who specialises in photo-realistic art, working in pastels as the main medium.

I work on a commission basis for private clients. I paint highly detailed portraits of pets, horses, wildlife, kids, and people from customers' photographs.

I am based in Norton Canes, Cannock, Staffordshire.

I have always loved animals and had a passion for art but in 2018 we rescued a little doggy called Teddy, I couldn't resist trying to paint him. Once I'd finished my husband said I should do this for a living. Hence PETS PAWTRAITS BY KATIA.

I send my paintings worldwide but I am so grateful to local customers from Cannock and the surrounding areas who keep supporting me as an artist.

Also, I have a great collaboration with local wildlife photographers Bob Whorton, Suzie Bradbury, and Ann Wright who kindly let me use their fantastic wildlife photographs as references for my artwork.

In May -June 2022 I had my first personal art exhibition at the Museum of Cannock Chase, which was an incredible experience.
