Art and Illustration

Welcome to River Dog Portraits. My name is Kim Zoph. I'm a professional artist specializing in portraiture and illustration.

I've been painting and drawing all of my life. I studied art in college, and graduated with a B.F.A. and an M.A. from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. I am a member of the Chicago Artist's Coalition.

I specialize in pen and graphite, but I can also do your artwork in watercolor, colored pencil, or oil paint. If you'd like to commission artwork, please feel free to contact me. My email address is kkzoph@gmail.com.

You can also see what else is happening on the creative side by visiting my blog.

Many of the illustrations on the Gallery page are also available for purchase as open-edition prints in my etsy shop.

Prices vary by size and medium, and I'll need to see a high quality reference photograph to begin work on your custom portrait.


Thank you for visiting my site.
