Create a lasting memory with a portrait by award winning artist Kathryn Collins Gentile. Kathryn uses a centuries old technique to create portraits in pastel with a timeless quality at home in any setting. One of the processes Kathryn employs is a single color pastel to highlight a black and white pastel, resulting in a monochromatic piece with an emphasis on light and texture. You can also have your commissioned portrait produced in color, surrounded by the things that have special meaning to you and incorporate the colors you enjoy.

Kathryn works from artists sketches and from her photographs, combining elements from each to obtain the best likeness and composition. In the case of group portraits, this ensures that each subject appears at his or her best, whether the subjects are people or their favorite pets. She also works from samples of the customer’s fabrics, paint and wall coverings to ensure that the finished piece will complement its surroundings and capture the distinct personality of the subject.

With a degree in Fine Arts from Seton Hill University and over 25 years experience, Kathryn's work has been commissioned by private clients based in New York, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland and her home base of Atlanta. Kathryn's artistic talents are complimented by her strong commitment to family life. Married for almost 18 years, she is the proud mother of two beautiful teenage girls and is one of fourteen children of Roger and Emily Collins.
