I’m Katie Shepherd, an artist and designer, based in Manchester.  I’m ‘kinHEADS’ too, and draw affordable, contemporary pen and ink portraits of children. The name is derived from a combination of ‘kin’ (your family) and ‘HEADS’ (the bit I draw).

kinHEADS is my second baby. The first and original kinHEAD is my son, who stars in this venture as my logo. He was the first one I drew and I haven’t really looked back.

I also draw pen and ink ‘kinSHEDS’, portraits of people’s homes. This name is derived from the equally clever ‘kin’ (your family) and ‘SHEDS’ (your home). Simple.

It’s a really easy and affordable way to get a unique piece of art capturing a moment in time – great presents for others and also for oneself (of course).

As well as my commissioned drawings I paint, and have a number of original framed paintings for sale. Have a look at my www.kinheads.com/original-paintings page to see the current selection of works on offer.

Recently series of greetings cards of the original paintings have been a successful addition to the brand. And finally, a limited print run of two of my paintings, a still life and a landscape as well as the greetings cards can be found at the following link: www.http://www.kinheads.com/greetings-cards/

One final thing should you wish to purchase anything please email me! I am in the middle of updating my website to try and get a direct selling function but before that good old PayPal and bank transfers are the way to go.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
