There's a new portrait painter in town

I have recently opened a studio in Jackson, Mississippi, and I am taking portrait commissions.

So far, I've made paintings of pets and children. You are welcome to browse through the posts to view them.

Here's a little bit about my background. I learned how to paint portraits at Mississippi State University where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting. During the course, I traveled to Italy and studied art there one summer. Upon graduating from Mississippi State University in 2006, I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, to get a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting. After completing the course in 2009, I moved back to my home in Mississippi. Now I am an abstract painter as well as a portrait painter.

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait, please do not hesitate to contact me. There are no obligations to commit once you inquire. I am happy to answer any questions. You may email me at kathrynhwiggins@gmail.com, or call me at 662.736.3424.

The studio is located at 529 D Professional Parkway, Ridgeland, MS 39157. It is open Wednesday afternoons and by appointment.
