Where Your Story Meets Artistry. 

The ärtemo-tiv® Method

The ärtemo-tiv® Method is my signature five-step process designed to make commissioning custom art a seamless & enriching experience.

From cars to canvas

Five-Step Process

Each step is designed to make the commission process clear and collaborative.

Together, we'll create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects the essence of your story; An expertly guided experience to bring your vision to life.

Step one

Defining the Vision

Every great piece starts with a conversation. We’ll explore your vision, inspiration, and the photos that make your story unique—laying the foundation for a piece that’s truly personal.

Step Two

Sketching the Story

With a clear direction in mind, I’ll translate your ideas into a preliminary drawing, refining the composition and elements to ensure the artwork takes shape exactly as you imagine.

Step three

Perfecting the Design

Before brush meets canvas, we’ll fine-tune every detail. This is where the vision solidifies—ensuring the design is a perfect reflection of your story before moving to paint.

For cars & 3D objects this step ensures precision. You’ll see the artwork mapped out directly on the surface in chalk—completely erasable and adjustable—so we can refine placement before paint is applied.

Step four

Brush to Canvas

With expert craftsmanship and premium materials, our design transforms into a finished, personalized art piece with depth, color, and detail.

Step five

Framing & Delivery

Custom-framed (an add-on service) and securely packaged, your artwork is photographed and prepared for its new home—ready to be proudly displayed and treasured.

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 make the extra effort and it truly shows!

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 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.

Kate captured exactly what I imagined and worked with me during the entire process with great interest and excitement for the piece. Her talent and abilities with mechanical illustration, landscape, and portrait work combined to create a true feeling of nostalgia and emotion! Her collaboration with the craftsman that made the frame was a fantastic tie into the theme and feel of artwork. This painting will be treasured by us and bring many good memories in the future.

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!

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 received my custom artwork from Kate and wow! Blew my mind how much she pays attention to detail. Absolute professional. Exceeded expectations. Prompt and thorough with preliminary sketches and follow up. Just a great overall experience from quality of work to customer service. Definitely would recommend Kate for any custom pieces.

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!
