Art and design have been my passion and my creative outlet in both my professional and personal life. From Interiors to Fashion Design, from furniture to accessories, I love to design. Coming back to Kansas City a few years ago, I have rediscovered my love of drawing... so here I am... a bit of my history... www.pattynastcanton.com  

The drawings are done in charcoal and pastels working on archival acid free paper. 

I'm inspired by our pets (although, they are really our 4-legged family members, our children and our unconditional friends) who are as unique as we are. My inspiration comes from getting to know each of them through your eyes, through a few important questions and hopefully some great photos. I do not copy a photo. The portrait is a compilation of images and your very valuable input.
