I live with 12 cats, so it seems only natural that they would influence my work. They can be elegant or comical, routine or unpredictable, funny or serious. Each feline has a very different personality.
I did a series of acrylic paintings that were more like fabric designs, almost quiltlike. “Miss Meep's” pastel flowery shapes says she is a sweet cat, while "Crazy Cat" shows the inner workings of the feline mind.
Getting a bit more primitive and patternistic I started to paint wooden boxes. Being able to pick up and hold little paintings then put them on a shelf seemed like a fun idea.
Working on the computer I created faces of cats using shapes and filling them in with dingbat fonts. Capturing the personality and mood of the cats that live with us. Their story is on the back of the card. These are available as 4x6 cards.
Influenced by my cartoonist husband, Gary Dumm, I did a digital comic book titled "The Adventures of Bongo Monkey". It's a series of one page stories about Bongo, and the rest of his "Hip Cat Band". |
