KATY WOOLLATT – PORTRAIT ARTIST
Having had a talent for art from a young age, she studied at the Leeds College of Art and Design and later earned her Degree in Design from Manchester Metropolitan University.
At that time Katy’s career steered towards three dimensional art and she furthered her studies in glassblowing, then working as a glassblower and exhibiting her work in galleries and exhibitions across the UK.
Now a painter, she takes on commissions of animal and human portraiture, capturing the soul and feeling of the subject using photos provided by the customer. Katy also exhibits her larger artworks in local exhibitions and works in both acrylics and oils.
She currently shares her time and talents between her paintings and also works as a graphic designer.
MY WORK
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I cannot believe this painting. I’ve never, ever seen such amazing work. When I unraveled this, I could not hold back the tears!!! For those of you who were lucky enough to have met Tara, know her amazing soul and personality. Katy has captured this so amazingly. Honesty, from a distance, you cannot tell it is a painting. Absolutely amazing.
Absolutely my best birthday gift from my goddaughter Claire in Ft. Lauderdale. What a totally amazing surprise to open my package and Astra (my standard poodle) just looking at me with those wonderful big puppy eyes. The likeness is remarkable. Katy you are an incredibly talented artist. Wishing you every success.

You can send me a message on my contact page, submit your order via my online form, or send me a facebook message, whichever you prefer! We can discuss your deadline and details of your portrait. You can send me some images of your pet and we can see what suits best. Sometimes getting a good photo of your pooch is hard work, but I’ve created a pet photo guide here to give you some pointers.
DEPOSIT
If you want to go ahead, I’ll send you an invoice for a 50% deposit, once we are both sure of what you want from your painting.

I’ll get started. We willhave discussed timescales before I start so you know when to expect your painting to be finished. I get all my portraits professionally stretched on a high quality wooden canvas frame, so once I have finished I will allow time for this in your deadine. Once finished I’ll get it posted to you!
