Art For Critters - Kristine Kasheta

Art and the love for animals has followed Maryland, Pet & Animal Wildlife Artist Kristine E. Kasheta since she was a very little girl, and as she has grown so has her deep love for animals & her artistic abilities with the completion of each and every one of her original paintings . Kristine, a Fulltime Animal Artist with a Bachelor in the Fine Arts, considers herself to be self taught and works primarily in Acrylic medium creating her paintings mostly Realistic or Impressionistic in artistic style. Although she uses models or photographs of various animals & her own pets for reference use & visual details, her paintings are created mainly through her own creative flair of adding special touches from her own imagination & love of animals, making each of her paintings unique & one of a kind. Currently Kristine Kasheta develops her own artistic skills through creating only original works of art for sale or through donation, but may possibly sell prints in the upcoming years.

Artist Statement: My lifelong love for animals and their beauty, as well as noticing their individual personalities has leaned me towards focusing on animals of all sorts in my artwork. I strive to create their beauty & sometimes a little of their humor in my paintings, to show all the wonderful attributes animals bring to our lives each & every day. For my future, I plan to advance my creative skills through my Animal art to its highest possible degree, while bringing joy to all of my customers who love animals just as much as myself. My deep love for animals & my wish to help those in need, is my main drive to paint & where my inspirations are born. My highest lifetime goal is to help as many animals as I possibly can through my own success & through my hard work & determination, each animal I can help is one step closer to reaching my dreams. This is what keeps me going in the challenging and competitive field of Art. I am honored to now be a part of Art for Critters, and I look forward to reaching a part of my goal with all of you.

To live without art is to live without my soul. To live without Animals in this world would take away so much of it's beauty & too much of my heart.
