About Me

I'm Kathryn Balistreri, the artist behind Wildkat Studio. I provide freelance illustration and design services, creating high-quality illustrations for digital and print media.

In addition to freelance work, I sell my art prints, felt handmade banners, and other creations at local maker's markets here in Portland, Oregon. My colorful felt artwork is designed to bring joy to interior spaces. 

I'm passionate about bringing my imagination to life through art and collaborating with others on unique pieces. I am currently accepting new illustration projects and custom banner design commissions.

Please feel free to email me at hello@wildkatstudio.com to discuss your project or learn more about my artistic process.
