Hi there,
My name is Katia Scandale (she/her) and I am a 22 year old artist from Canada.
Throughout my entire life, art has been a constant. I have been drawing and painting from a young age and I've been trained in the medium watercolour for several years. My passion for painting and anything/everything art related pushed me to pursue a career in this craft. I continued practising art in high school and I am currently studying fine art in University. While learning to build my skills and exploring mediums, I started my own business in the art world.
During my years practising art, I've been very active on social media posting the work I created. I was able to build a following on multiple platforms which has led me to incredible opportunities involving my artwork. In 2019, I won first place in a teen art show for my community and also displayed my artwork in a few local galleries. Through my presence on social media, I was also able to gain the attention of a few celebrities and now, I work with companies such as Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena to create gifts specially customized for their celebrity guests. I was fortunate to create gifts for: Harry Styles, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, P!NK, Jonas Brothers, Guns N' Roses, Luke Combs, Old Dominion and Eric Church. I've also done special projects with the Toronto Maple Leafs!
I specialize in realism and portrait art, however, I also like mixing medias and styles; I began selling custom denim jackets, which have gained popularity online. I am very flexible in the ways I create (with either styles, mediums and the surfaces I paint on.) I don't like to limit myself to styles or mediums, so I like to have fun trying new things.

I am so grateful for the opportunities I have been given and I cannot wait to continue to grow my business. I am just launching stickers that are entirely made in studio and I hope to add more collections and products to my shop!
To the reader/visitor, I would just like to Thank You. Thank you for visiting my page and thank you for taking the time to explore my portfolio and learning about me. I appreciate the opportunity to showcase my work on a platform entirely dedicated to my many years of hard work. You continually make me speechless of your support towards my artistry. It is unbelievable that my art has made its way around the world, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. So, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
Katia xx
