Journal Entry: Fri Oct 30, 2009, 1:26 PM

Please note that prices will be increasing after Christmas 2009! If you book a commission between now and Christmas you will be charged according to the current price list.

I am available to create paintings, illustrations, portraits and visions of your imagination in several media and varying sizes to suit your needs. Most genres are acceptable but I have a definite preference toward fantasy and medieval inspired works.

Please remember I am a Christian and as such I must retain the right to refuse a commission if I think the subject matter is inappropriate. I will not draw demons/devils, gay/lesbian scenes, extreme violence or erotic scenes, witches or pagan symbolism. If you are uncertain as to whether your idea is within or without my boundaries simply ask and I will either accept or politely decline your commission. This is not about me judging your interests but simply advising you of the commissions I am likely to accept or refuse before you order.

You will receive the original artwork (where applicable) or high resolution digital file ready for you to print. Original artworks are shipped flat in a protective plastic covering along with a certificate of authenticity. Shipping and insurance fees vary but you will be advised of the total once I have your address. All artworks are shipped with insurance.

The Artist - Kathryn Whiteford

I was born in the late 70's with a vivid imagination and the drive to create. For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed drawing many things including various animals, landscapes and people. As time went on my interest turned to the realm of fantasy. Having enjoyed fantasy films for my entire life (Legend, The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, Willow, The Last Unicorn, The Princess Bride, etc), I guess it was inevitable.

As much as I love fantasy art, games, costumes and stories I more than happily live in the real world. I am a Christian and married to a wonderful man named Andrew and we have a son aged seven, Tarran. We homeschool our son and although it is not something I would recommend to every family it most definitely suits us. I adore teaching him and watching him learn.

I am a self taught artist and seamstress and I believe anybody can become accomplished in whatever they desire with a bit of determination and self discipline. Many free resources are available via the internet to help artists learn what they must to become successful. Only by practicing and challenging yourself will you see improvement in your work, and as the old adage goes - practice makes perfect.
