Beautiful Digital Paintings by Artist Kathy Grillo

My name is Kathy Hartwig Grillo and I am an artist and illustrator from Michigan. Though I do experiment with diverse mediums I currently am doing more often than not digital art.

I specialize in custom pet portraits and custom style illustrations. I besides bask painting and drawing things from nature. Flowers, old gnarly trees, Sometime houses and buildings, I like to become into the tiny details.

After many years of putting aside my dream, I am finally beginning to put myself and my art out into the globe. It has been a long journey to go hither.

I take ever been creative and can call up trying to describe my friends in grade school. I always looked for all the art and creative classes I could accept.

In High School, I was part of an amazing advanced fine art class full of incredible talent. Though it was inspiring it was besides intimidating as my class won every prize out there. I was honored to take won several gold key awards from the Cleveland Constitute of Art and Cleveland State University art exhibits. I had a dream to attend the Cleveland Plant of Fine art but could non afford tuition and honestly was scared of the rejection. I instead worked to accept classes at the community higher. But every bit we know life happens.

I got married and had 3 children, a business firm, a husband and a dog and there really was not much fourth dimension, space or coin for my fine art. I did non do much of annihilation creative for virtually 20 years.

As my children grew older and more independent I had more time to dream again. I was out shopping one day and on a whim bought a sketchbook and a pencil gear up and started cartoon. I haven't stopped.

The sketching somewhen led to an interest in painting. I saw some digital art on a livestream and thought it was a not bad way to paint without taking up space and waste. Niggling did I know that Christmas I would receive a tablet and painting programme. I immediately started teaching myself by reading the manual and experimenting.
I actually paint digitally basically like I would paint traditionally, not using a lot of computer intervention. My canvas is just a monitor screen. So I transitioned rather easily.

Though my online art community and live streaming my creations. I was encouraged to put my art out into the globe and have been creating this new life now of being an artist for the last several years. I am finally living that dream from long ago. I at present dream of creating and sharing my fine art for the remainder of my life! I also promise to be a wonderful example of information technology never being too late to follow a dream.
