“I love Katie’s artwork! She painted an amazing mural on my grand children’s play room wall at my home. It is truly beautiful! She is a gifted artist with an unusual flair and talent. I use her note cards for all my correspondence and receive so many compliments on them. I know she has an amazing future ahead.”

“I am an artist and art educator in the Adirondacks in New York. I have only been able to correspond with Katie via e-mail to view her work and discuss art but through our correspondences I have come to really enjoy her work and find inspiration in her dedication to being a professional artist. It is a very difficult field that requires dedication, focus and a tremendous amount of work and skill. I look forward to many years of sharing our work with one another, hopefully seeing it in person and perhaps one day having a joint exhibition.”

“I commissioned Katie to paint a portrait for me, and it was magnificent. Her attention to detail and use of colors was more than what I had hoped to get.”

“Katie’s art is simply, extraordinary. Her Nude Figure Study Triptych is an example of her ability to create the truly unique and intriguing. Katie has a style that exemplifies her passion for her work.”

“We at Arizona Professional Painting would like to take this opportunity to recommend Katia Von Kral and her company Art by KVK, LLC. We have used Katie on several projects, and referred her to other clients and have found her and her company to be a leader in the industry. Her professionalism and quality of work is top notch and we have been very happy to have her as part of our team. She and her company did an outstanding job on my home and on a recently completed project for the City of Phoenix “Civic Plaza” where she transformed an exterior of a building to a work of art. We would highly recommend her for any project that requires her artistic talent and expertise. ”

“I am the Community Manager of Alta Phoenix Lofts Apartments, located downtown Phoenix. When I first saw Katie’s artwork, I was blown away and had to have her show her work at my property! We have an actual art gallery right on property. Katie’s first art show at Alta Phoenix Lofts was GREAT. Her various pieces of work on each wall had people thinking it was actually a different artist’s work on each wall. When I told people that it was all the same artist, they were also blown away. I asked Katie to perform live art for the night and she was amazing. Just some of the things I loved about Katie were her professionalism, how she charmed her audience, and the versatility in her work. I loved Katie’s work so much that I asked for her to come back 6 months later, which was another fabulous show. I am such a big fan of Katie that I have asked her to come back every 6 months to Alta Phoenix Lofts. She is truly a very talented artist.”

“When we opened our Google office in Tempe, Arizona, we wanted to include a mural dedicated to Arizona and our Google office. Katie came up with an amazing design, using our logo and some important elements that make up this great state. Katie did an amazing job with our Arizona Google mural and it was one of the highlights of our work space. Every visitor who came to our office got to see it and they all had wonderful things to say about it.”

Jaime Casap, Google

“Katie, you are an exceptional talent. Working off a small picture, you were able to capture the very spirit of my (then) 1 year old as he sat at the piano, poised as if to play — everyone who sees this portrait remarks about how cool it is. Better yet, since most of them know him, they always remark how it matches my son Dash’s personality like a glove —– many kudos to you!”

Thomas F. Gardner

“Katie has an incredibly charismatic personality which personifies her amazing artwork. Katie’s work is always taking a new turn delighting the eye with the depth, frivolity and drama that she blends so well in her pieces.”

“We commissioned Katie to do two portraits for our music art collection, and could not be happier with the results. The musicians came alive on canvas and are displayed with a great deal of pride in our home. Needless to say, we will be doing more with Katie in the future and are very much looking forward to the creative touch she brings.”
