Illustration

Whimsical. Humorous. Fun.

Illustration

is one of the most powerful forms of communication.

It transcends barriers by conveying ideas through images. It is the most efficient, clear, and direct way to connect with an audience. Illustration is art at work.

By using visual representations to enhance text you instantaneously engage viewers. Illustrations can elicit emotions, influence perceptions, and persuade action. Take your product or message to the next level and leave a lasting impression.

Stock Image Or Illustration?

Not sure if illustration is right for you? Here’s some food for thought.

Stock images are quick to access and widely available; however, they are also generic and used repetitively. They leave little room for differentiation.

Illustrations are original, distinctive, and tailored to a specific purpose. Their uniqueness allows brands to stand out in a more personalized way.

I can help.

I’m Kathryn, your new illustrator!

I received my BFA in illustration from the University of Michigan. My images have appeared in books, magazines, marketing collateral and products. I joined the Society of Children’s Book Illustrators in 2012. My first children’s book, Sleep Tight Nashville (written & self-published by Dave Dietrich and Debbie Brown) sold over 35,000 copies.

I am skilled at traditional illustration using color pencils, limited color pallets, and humor. I excel at thinking outside the box, switching up poses, and accepting constructive criticism.

Let’s Work together!

I have successfully helped Business to Business, Business to Consumer, and Non-Profit companies achieve their goals.
