CAT DARROW | Designing for life

I’m a Michigan-based artist and designer with a diverse creative background across many mediums and disciplines, including interior design, graphic design, illustration, and painting. In recent years, I’ve grown into the use of acrylic and Sumi ink on canvas for my portraiture, often with the use of unconventional and stylistic colors. I’m inspired to create pieces based on feeling and what matters to my clients. Love, loss, nostalgia, joy, and beauty are all strong instigators for my creations. I strive to feel a sense of connection to and strong understanding of my subjects. Take a peek at my collection and visit the Contact page to fill out the contact form and say hi! I look forward to partnering with you in your desired creation.

  • "Cat was a dream to work with! She took into consideration the personality of the dog (Darla) and the home the piece would be in. It is colorful and fun, yet still looks just like Darla. I gifted the piece to Darla's mom, who kept looking out of the corner of her eye thinking Darla was there. It was the perfect gift!"

  • "I am so impressed with the beauty and the quality of the portrait of Skylar! It truly exceeds our expectations! The artist's professionalism and talent are amazing. Highly recommended! In addition, she kept in touch so that I knew exactly when to expect the portrait, and she asked questions about Skylar's personality to assure she captured her essence and, believe me, she was successful! What a treasure!"

  • "Cat will take the time and go the extra mile to make sure the spirit and personality of your pet is captured in her painting. Her commitment to her work is backed by incredible talent and a lively, textured, colorful style. This was by far my favorite gift I’ve given to date. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks!"

  • "Wow! I'm so thrilled with our painting of Keano! Cat did an amazing job incorporating our colors into the painting. It's amazing how life-like it is, we're so glad we chose to add this piece of art to our home collection. Cat is very talented, a great communicator and met our deadline for Xmas. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
