Welcome to Kelpie Studio

Animal Artist Heather Anderson's elegant paintings of dogs, cats, and horses have gained an international following of those who appreciate unique quality, accuracy, and beauty. This award winning artist enjoys painting a wide variety of dog, cat, and horse breeds and has a special love for Shetland Sheepdogs, Collies, cats, and the saddle horses (Arabians, Morgans, Saddlebreds) as well as the Spanish/Baroque breeds.

Heather works in watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, and acrylic in a style that could be termed "Romantic Realism". She is also beginning to explore the fantasy element of the horse.

We invite you to explore the beautiful original paintings in the various animal art galleries, the Dog notecards(over 100 breeds available), the Commissions page, and In the Studio for frequent updates on new work and the artist's life. Your children can enjoy this website, too, as it is a "Family Friendly" site.
