Kate Green studied Fine Art at Ottawa University and then continued and finished her Bachelor of Fine Art at the University of Toronto. She also obtained an Art and Design Diploma from Sheridan College, Oakville, and took further training at KLC School for Interior Design in London, England. She started her art career in the commercial fields of Graphic Design and Illustration. While living in England in the late 1990's, she opened an Interior Design company - Cocoon.

Kate was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2002 and the symptoms from this illness forced her to give up her Interior Design company in 2005. Returning to her true loves of nature and painting, has managed to cure an illness that she was told was incurable.

Kate began painting commissioned paintings in 2006, mainly of dogs, and has now completed over 100 dog portraits. Recently Kate has expanded her commissions to include portraits of horses and people. She also paints non-commissioned work of domestic and wild animals, nests and the natural world.

Kate began painting dogs after finding a dog starving to death on a country road. So saddened that anyone could allow this to happen to such a beautiful animal, a painting seemed a suitable way to honour Pepper - now one of Kate's own very loved dogs.

Kate has a well-trained eye for modern realist painting. Each of Kate's paintings show a refined sensitivity and a fresh, modern interpretation. Through her portraits, it is evident that Kate has a deep respect for the individual character of every subject.

Kate lives on the beautiful Rideau River, near Burritt's Rapids, Ontario, with her husband, two sons, and three dogs.
