My name is Haylie Gardner. I’m a 21 year old self-taught artist based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I grew up an animal lover and have worked with cats for a couple of years now. I love to do pet portraits- especially cats! I feel inspired by nature and bright colors. I mainly work in oil paint but like to occasionally dabble in acrylic paint as well.

I’m a major homebody and enjoy spending my free time cuddled up with my kitties Mango and Bug, or playing video games with my husband!
