Working with Kate was an experience I will never forget but hope to repeat. It was very important for me to work with an artist with a deep interior life. That is Kate. You see it in the finished work. The light of the Holy Spirit is evident. The reveal event, not only allowed people to encounter the finished work, but also see how this piece advances the presence of beauty, so desperately needed in our time. I look forward to seeing how the Lord impacts hearts as they gaze upon this image for years to come.

"The unveiling of this beautiful, beautiful painting. If you're like me, I think I could look at that for hours upon hours and not exhaust what it does to my inner spirit. It's a wonderful example of how the arts, whether it be painting, sculpture, music, that is real music, how it can free our inner spirit and bring out spiritual things that nothing else can. As Kate so beautifully stated, beauty leads to God. Beauty equals God. This is beautiful. Therefore, God is coming to us through the brilliance of this artwork. Nice to know that we got it now and we'll see it every time we gather here. And we'll have the opportunity to come in and look, meditate, and feel what that means to us. Truly an historic day in our small community of Dominicans."

This painting certainly holds the power of raising our minds and hearts to God. I receive great joy also in knowing many prayers went into creating this painting. What makes Kate’s work that much more magnificent is the fact that it’s the fruit of her own prayer. It’s not just art, it truly is sacred art.

I knew what I wanted to say or show in the painting but had no idea of how to actually express it. It was as if God was the mediator between myself and Kate, allowing her to understand and interpret what I wanted through her art. I’ve never experienced something like it in my life.

I had a very clear picture in my mind of this scene from scripture that was very important to me. Working with Kate to bring it to life was a dream come true. It was so evident that Kate infuses her talent and professionalism with a very deep prayer life and inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I struggled to find the right words to convey the vision I had for this, but she asked the Holy Spirit to guide her and when she showed me the image, I was immediately (and involuntarily!) moved to tears. She nailed it - it was exactly as it was in my head. The final painting turned out just as I had imagined and it brings so much joy to see it every day. We are already dreaming up the next thing to work with Kate on. She is a delightful person and wonderful to work with.

This was our first experience commissioning art and Kate made the process simple and seamless! We truly appreciated the time and prayer that she put into each step of the creative process because it resulted in a true and beautiful devotional that will be in our home for years to come.

You have no idea what you want yet…this may mean you wait a bit until you formulate a general theme and reason for the creation of the art (Key word is general, as you don’t need to come up with the whole idea). Unless you truly just want anything original by Kate and have no preference. Why is it recommended to wait a bit if you are not sure ? Prices are based off of the time it takes to create a work and often when someone is not sure of what they want the sketching stage is extended which will increase your fees and time frame.
Steps for transforming your space!
• How much does it cost?
• What Materials do you use?
• Do I need to figure out the exact idea upfront?
• How Long is the process?
• Do You Offer Mural Sizes?
• Is there a wait time?
• Will you paint on site or in your studio?
• Can you paint from a photo I have?
• CAN I SEE YOUR ART in person FIRST?
• DO YOU HAVE ANY ORIGINALS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE?
DO I NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT IDEA UPFRONT?
No! All you need to do is know the why behind the image and which Saint or aspect of Christ etc you want most portrayed, allowing Kate to prayerfully develop the composition. Whether you have a specific patron saint in mind or require collaborative iconographic direction, Kate synthesizes your parish’s theological vision into a concrete, committee-ready blueprint.
HOW LONG IS THE PROCESS?
The time varies from 6 to 12 months (longer for larger murals) depending on size and theme. It is best to connect with Kate to have a better idea. Please also note, it is common to have a wait time before your project would begin as Kate is often already booked with several commissions.
Do you Work on site or in your studio?
To ensure museum-grade detail and zero disruption to your daily parish Mass schedule, all large-scale murals are masterfully executed off-site in Kate’s climate-controlled studio via the historic marouflage method. Once complete, Visual Grace oversees the entire installation pipeline, collaborating directly with licensed, insured local structural contractors to safely and permanently secure the finished masterpiece to your sanctuary wall.
CAN YOU PAINT FROM A PHOTO I HAVE?
Kate typically will not use a photo of yours to paint as she works with real models and her own created reference images to create a work. Most often photos are not suitable for painting due to low quality or proportions being off etc. If you would like to discuss your thoughts, please reach out today for more information.
CAN MY FAMILY MEMBER BE IN IT?
Kate offers Sacred works that focus on the Saints, Jesus, Marian titles, Theological topics and Biblical topics. She uses real models so will not work from any photos that you may have. While Kate does not offer putting any family members into images, Chat with Kate to see about other creative alternatives to reference what is important to you through things like symbology.
