ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kayla Hawkins – Pet Portrait Artist
Kayla is a Wichita-based artist specializing in hand-painted pet portraits. What began as a lifelong love of animals and creativity grew into Paws and All Paintings — a way to celebrate the personalities, quirks, and heart of people’s pets through art.
Every painting is created with care, attention to detail, and a desire to capture something meaningful. Whether playful, proud, gentle, or goofy, Kayla brings each pet’s spirit to life using expressive photo references and traditional painting techniques.
Every portrait Kayla creates is more than a painting — it’s a tribute to the bond people share with their pets. Her goal is to capture not just a likeness, but a feeling: the spark in their eyes, the softness of their expression, and the joy they bring to the people who love them. Through every brushstroke, she hopes to create artwork that becomes a cherished keepsake and a celebration of a life lived alongside a beloved companion.
