Cats are creatures of such beauty and grace, contradiction and fascination. In all their many varieties they are an endless source of material to a painter. Forget the nude! The cat is the epitome of beauty. One moment a cat is an inscrutable feline model of elegance and the next a racing whirlwind chasing an imaginary mouse and having a wonderful time. We could learn a lot from the cat!

I live in London with five crazy cats and a human. I love painting landscapes, cats, dogs and other animals but a particular love of cats has led to me to specialising in feline portraiture. With my 5 furry babies I have plenty inspiration but many friends also send me photos of their cats to use as models. All of them are fascinating felines!
