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.
 
I like to have a painting “tell a story” A story can bring the viewer into the painting, ask questions, and perhaps see their own story in the art. My hope is that my paintings encourage people to see cats as having value, to be fun-loving companions and not throw away animals that we care for, for a bit then give away or let out to fend on their own.
