Gentle Road

Not your typical retirement gift 💛

This client didn’t want to go the “typical route.” She wanted something that celebrated not just his military career, but their journey together.
This one was a large 20x30” commission, capturing decades of service, travel, and milestones, and it was such an honor to bring it all together for them.

“I wanted something that honored not just his military career, but our journey together. Thank you Katie for bringing everything together!”

These paintings stories of love, purpose, and everything in between, and pieces like this remind me exactly why I do what I do. 💛

Over the past eight years, I’ve had the joy of creating custom paintings for more than 2,000 people, capturing homes, pets, love stories, and careers.

Along the way, my Career Story Paintings have become something truly special, and a way to honor the paths people have built and the legacies they’re still creating. While I’ll still offer my other custom pieces, this will now be my main focus moving forward.

Behind the scenes, I’m working on a few incredible commissions that make me pinch myself (think national network and major retailer), and I’ll be sharing them soon.

Each Career Story Painting reminds me how meaningful it is to pause and reflect on the journey that got you here. Every one is filled with symbols, milestones, and moments that tell a life’s story in watercolor.

I know these paintings are an investment, and I want them to feel accessible to anyone ready to celebrate their story. That’s why I’ve introduced a deposit option that allows you to begin your painting now and divide the cost into two payments.

Your story deserves to be celebrated, too. 💼✨
