I have a love affair with cats, from young to old, stray to domestic. I am drawn to a cat’s independent attitude and playfulness and work to capture those characteristics in my art. My art explores and celebrates all cats – realistically, abstractly and whimsically. Cats present endless possibilities for artistic expression, from a thought-provoking portrait to silly, make-you-laugh-till-you-cry antics. It is the silliness that inspires my whimsical paintings, paintings that make you smile. Although my focus is cats, I enjoy painting other animals, especially in a whimsical style. Sometimes I paint animals realistically in commissioned pet portraits
