The softened shadows and light of Russian impressionistic oil paintings have been a huge influence on Kathe Fraga’s acrylic dog portraits. Guided by history, antiquities, and the romance of old English manor houses and castles, Kathe darkens and distresses her canvases before painting.

Kathe also creates three-dimensional dogs using a fabric mâché process that she developed. Many standard breeds are available, and custom commissions are available—please email or call for details.

Kathe's "Pet Portraits" are colorful three-dimensional pieces featuring a variety of dogs and cats.

Kathe's cat paintings feature colorful portrayals of the family's very real—and very large—cat.
