Artist Statement:
“For the artist a cat is a
still life in motion."
Never a truer word! My "still
lives" are always in motion. I
do what I can to capture their
spirit, their sense of life
and vitality and their unique
personalities. Painting cats
is my passion!
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.
But let’s not forget the dog
with his staunch loyalty and
wonderful sense of fun.
Painting dogs comes a close
second to painting cats as my
favourite thing to be doing. I
love the way dogs throw
themselves into things heart
and soul. 100% is never good
enough for a dog, it’s 125% or
nothing! I wish I had such
energy.
