Today we’d like to introduce you to Kate Buzzacco.
Hi Kate, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
At a very young age, I started identifying myself as an artist. This passion for art led me to study at Kent State University in Fashion Design, which then led me to work in Columbus as a print designer for apparel.
In between freelance jobs, I found myself painting a watercolor portrait of my son and posted it on Instagram. The requests from friends started rolling in for me to paint their own loved ones, and Kate Buzzacco Studio formed.
I love the creative freedom portrait painting has given me. I feel fortunate that my paintings have the ability to give someone joy and to forever capture the emotion of a memory in art form.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Covid definitely stunted the momentum of my business; with two young boys at home and a scarcity of sitter help, I had to cut back on how many paintings I was able to take on. We welcomed our third son at the beginning of this year, the studio is open, and I have an incredibly supportive family and community backing me up and helping me grow.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a Columbus-based artist specializing in custom watercolor paintings.
My intimate paintings breathe in the emotion and energy found in the loved ones I paint — capturing the realism and mood of the photograph.
Clients work directly with me to choose and edit the perfect photo for painting. Paintings make great gifts and take about a month to complete.
