My name is Karly Loparco and I am an oil paint and pastel artist, specializing in hyper realistic animal portraiture. I offer both pet portraits and other commissions, as well as an array of original works and prints.

I have been working professionally since 2017 with many satisfied clients from all around the country. I have had the pleasure of creating all different subjects, from feline and canine to equine and other household pets. I have also worked on wildlife commissions. No matter the subject, I strive to work hand in hand with clients to bring their vision to life.

I have a great passion for animals, wildlife, and all things nature. I was born and raised in Colorado, and true to it I am as adventurous and outdoorsy as they come. Currently when I am not working at the studio I work as an equine vet tech. In my free time I am riding horses or traveling and exploring the beautiful outdoors! I find having had animals my whole life as well as being very involved with a variety of animal based jobs and opportunities has truly helped not only inspire me but also impacted how I go about capturing the essence of every individual animal in my art.
