I initially started in the bookmaking world, where I was involved in the industry for several years. However, I realized down the line that I wanted to expand my artistic passions into other ventures. All my life, I have had a love of cats and their beauty. They had always inspired me in all of my various artistic disciplines. When I finally decided that it was time for me to pursue painting, the subjects of my work were therefore an easy and obvious choice. Since then, I have been drawing and painting cats in various forms, often integrating these images with nature-inspired insignias. Bookmaking still impacts my work, as I have been involved in that world for far longer than I have been painting. The knowledge I’ve gained in binding manuscripts and designing covers has proved useful, as the craft continues to inspire the images that I continue to draw and paint to this day.
A series drawn based on the seasonal events of ancient Celts. Each piece consists of a painting of a cat on a glass panel layered on a mix media abstract background.
