About Me

"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. I hope you enjoy the paintings as much as I enjoy the cats.

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!

About Me

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. I work mainly in oils and acrylics on fine grained canvas and with acrylics and watercolour on watercolour paper too. In 2004 I became a full member of SOFA, the Society Of Feline Artists.

The Paintings

I sell original paintings and limited edition prints and I take commissions to paint portraits of cats (and dogs too - the dogs have their own site at www.thepainteddog.co.uk). Visit the galleries to see the paintings or visit the shop to buy an original.

Commissions

If you'd like a unique painting of a favourite feline please have a look at the commissions section of the site, where you'll find galleries of paintings as well as more information about commissions.
