I think you do mediums like oil, colored pencils and watercolors the best, but just because I like it when a portrait got colors :) I figured to get better in my work, I have to learn from the best!

I was searching for something else, when I happened upon your website. I have to say, your work is absolutely stunning - flawless. I rarely see work which I consider to be as near perfection as yours. You have a true gift of insight into the soul of your subjects. One can read their personalities in your portraits. I love your work. I am an artist of some degree of proficiency, and am super-critical of other artists' work.

Some might consider me jealous or envious. I can assure you that is not the case. I admire the work of artists who are true to their gifts - as you are - and scoff at contrived, pompous, and all-but-blasphemous over-rated drivel considered to be art by some critics of the same values. Continue on your path of superior work.

I'm a Dutch k9 handler and Decoy, I whas looking for some drawings from malinois, and suddenly I found the most beautiful drawings of Malinois I have ever seen, they are magnificent!!! They are alive!!! I admire your work and have a great respect for you as a artist, all the drawings that I have seen on the website are incredible!!!

I love your animal portraits, they are so lifelike. At the age of 70, I have just discovered what one can do with coloured pencils. I have wanted to paint as long as I can remember, and I am now taking lessons in painting with coloured pencils. I have fallen in love! After looking at your E-cards, which are all so gorgeous, I hope that someday you will add one of a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, my very favourite dog. Thanks for the gift of the E-Cards!

Hi Katja,

I will have to agree with all the other comments, excellent work ! You are my favorite pet artist. I know you must hear this all the time but you are a very talented artist ! If i had to choose my biggest favorites are the coloured pencil ones, because they are so incredibly well detailed ! I would have never believed you can make that kind of quality just by using colored pencils ! As an aspiring artist myself i find your art so inspiring, i know i will never be ask good as you thou.. Its nice you keep a blog so everyone can see what your working on and see the whole progress of a painting. Anyways KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!! :)

Hi Katja

It had been a long time since you completed the fabulous portrait of my rottweiller Jack. He will be eleven years old on December 25. I visit your website quite often to see what you are doing. Jack's portrait is still my favorite piece of artwork, I just love it. You are so talented, keep up the great work.
