Hi!I'm Kathryn Willis, a Memphis-based paper artist specializing in whimsical, bespoke paper pet portraits and traditional paper cut pieces. I grew up in a small town in Central New York and earned a degree in Arts Management. Through a few hops, skips, and jumps, I ended up as a veterinary technician in Memphis, Tennessee.
My career choices have been eclectic, but throughout each transition I've always found ways to nurture my creative side. From photography to painting to singing, arts have always helped to expand my horizons - literally and figuratively. In 2014, I gave myself a weekly photography challenge to photograph my dog, Loki, set to a different location in my adopted home of Memphis for an entire year. The project concluded in 2015 and was turned into a published book titled "The Year of the Dog: 52 Weeks of Memphis". |

"The portrait is even more incredibly detailed and dimensional than pictures can capture."We received our amazing paper cut portrait commission from Katie in the mail this week! It perfectly captures Rhys' personality/likeness and some of his favorite noms. The portrait is even more incredibly detailed and dimensional than pictures can capture. We love it so much (and I think Rhys loves it, too - he licked the frame LOL)! Thank you, Katie! It was so much fun working with you on this project, we will cherish this forever.
