Homepage - Asphalt Canvas Custom Art

Hey,

I’m Kate.

I’m the artist behind Asphalt Canvas Custom Art LLC and the host of The Curated Craftsmen™ Podcast, based in Central Texas.

Using my signature ärtəˈmō-tiv ® process, I make custom artwork for your car or canvas in automotive enamel — paint originally designed for actual cars.

From your wheels to your walls, together, we’ll bring your vision to life with a work of art that’s as unique and timeless as the open road itself—crafted with precision, care, and the finest materials.

Personalization over Mass Production

Mass-produced stickers and AI have no place here. From hand-painted pinstriping to custom fine art, every piece is meticulously painted by my own hands with your story at the center, ensuring the final art reflects what matters most to you.

Uncompromising Craftsmanship

Automotive-grade enamels for versatility, vibrancy, and long lasting finishes, combined with a hands-on approach ensures every detail is thoughtfully handled with care so that your custom artwork lasts for generations.

A Clear & Collaborative Process

From the first sketch to the final stroke, my five-step ärtəˈmō-tiv ® Method makes commissioning custom art straightforward and rewarding. I don’t just make art; I create an experience for you—one that you’ll be part of from concept to completion.

This has been a fantastic experience from start to finish! I had a rough idea for the car in mind, but I had a hard time putting it into words (and I certainly couldn’t draw it). Kate took my rough idea and made the final product better than I had imagined. She checked in with me through every step to make sure the project was coming together the way I hoped, and I relied heavily on her talent for design to bring it all together. I couldn’t be happier with the car!

We've had Kate come out twice to do work at the historic Stonewall Motor Lodge. She's wonderful and easy to work with, a great collaborator to create custom pieces, and a super talented artist. She's known for her car and vintage inspired art, but she is equally talented at doing anything. Can't recommend her enough!

I so enjoyed the whole process and completeness of your talent… You captured Cheri and I, while making a story come to canvas. Wonderful.

We are overwhelmed with excitement at the beautiful job Kate did bringing our concept to life and making it even better than we could have imagined. We're looking forward to seeing our guests interact with the mural over the years to come! THANK YOU KATE!

I was speechless for roughly 30 minutes straight. Not only is it absolutely beautiful and so much more than I ever expected, it’s baffling to me that someone could paint that. I just wanted to say hanging this painting is going to be very difficult because I want everyone who comes into my home to see it. You are pretty damn amazing at what you do, Kate! I am glad I had the honor to work with you on this. Thank you.

We really loved working with Kate! She is so understanding and listens to your ideas. Then to see them put together into something so good is amazing! She designed a logo for our garage in Sweden, and it turned out so much better than we ever could imagine!

From the bottom of my heart I can not thank you enough!! The pictures do not do this justice. Its beyond perfect and you were an absolute pleasure to work with through all of this!!!! My mom was speechless as well. She wanted me to say thank you so much you did an amazing job honoring her late husband. Back when he passed, he asked me to promise him that I would enjoy and show the car off in his honor; I feel like I'm holding up to that promise now!

Blown Away! I cannot not even begin to describe my joy at your artwork. Photographs do not do the gold flake justice. You did an amazing job. Immense gratitude for this collaboration have my ideas and your amazing skills. I can't wait to put this old guitar together.

Thank you again for so much leg work, hard work and more importantly, the creative passion you put into making this a reality for me. I knew I picked the right person when I saw on your IG feed that you had learned a lot about Lady Liberty. Speaks very highly that you did some research on her. Most would just snag a photo or two and draw something. You too extra steps and effort and it truly shows!

I reached out to Kate in need of an eye-catching logo. There was no guessing along the way. After giving her my ideas, she blew it out of the park with three great logo concepts - it was hard to choose which to run with! She was very responsive and easy to work with as she refined the logo based on my comments to exactly what I had envisioned - clean and striking!

I reached out to Kate with an urgent need to have my logo created within 24 hours and she rocked the hell out of it!! The logo was better than I imagined!! She keeps constant communication to make sure she is creating the exact design you need. Her work ethic is only exceeded by her brilliant creativity! I am honored to say my logo was created by Asphalt Canvas Custom Art!

"My wife loves it!!!! She held it for about an hour last night, before I hung it on the wall. It is amazing! It is truly a family heirloom we will cherish forever."
