My name is Rachel Kruse and I’m a Kansas City-based artist who specializes in custom pet portraiture.

The ability to permanently capture the spirit of a subject through a variety of mediums is a talent that I take great pride in and strive to improve with every new work that I’m privileged to construct. No single work is the same as any other either in its progress or resolved state, with each new painting or drawing bringing its own challenges and possessing its own individual beauty that I seek to fully realize throughout the work’s progression.
