Hi I'm Kathryn!
I live in the stunning hills of North Wales and have spent the last few years working on a couple of dairy farms milking cows, feeding calves and driving tractors. I have loved cows from a very young age, growing up in a big farming community I was surrounded by fields of cattle. Working on farms straight from school I learnt a lot in such a small amount of time. I learnt how to feed calves, do injections, I even calved my very first cow! Becoming a relief milker in my second job I learnt so much more about cows and the production of milk to cheese. My recent venture is working with sheep but still doing my milking

I have enjoyed art from a young age, any chance I had I would have pens in hand and ready to draw. I used to spend time filling up sketch books and I loved any art projects I was set in school.
During art GCSE the class project was to paint a piece on a certain aspect of our life. I decided to paint cows, I'd never really drawn cows before so it was a new challenge I enjoyed. I set up my Instagram account sharing all my drawings and I then got asked for my first commission! I continued with farming and did my art in my spare time, with sales increasing my business really started to take off!
In the autumn of 2021 I temporarily started doing my artwork full time. Putting my health first, I needed a break from the early starts and long hours but also wanted to see how much potential my business really had if did it full time. I really enjoyed every minute of being able to paint every day. Now back into farming part time I'm still making time to do my two favourite things

My artwork is all done by hand and this makes each individual piece so unique. My very early work includes canvas paintings and pencil drawings. I gradually started to try different mediums including lino printing and illustration work which eventually developed into the style I have today. I started painting on cattle tags as a little experiment and just to see how they turn out, to my surprise they were a huge hit. Four years later they are still my most popular product I make. You can send me your favourite animal photo and I will copy it onto any tag of your choice! Most of my work is commission based so my shop can be empty for a few months at a time, but I try and do a good restock every few months.
Thats a bit about me! I hope you enjoy my artwork and if you have any enquires don't hesitate to contact me
