I create my own “fabric” swatch by printing the pattern on medium-weight cotton fabric using a commercial quality fabric transfer and my heat press to ensure even coverage, then stitch up the rest of the bag with white trim, backing and 24″ twill woven handles. Bags may vary slightly in size, but are just about […]

Mask is made with elastic ear loops and also comes with 24″ cloth ties. I created my own “fabric” swatch by printing the pattern […]

This vintage cardboard cigar box is finished with a two-tone orange and rust crackle finish, with an image of my painting “Smiling Orange Kitty Batik”. Box measures approximately 7.5″ x 5.5″ x 2″ high. Price includes shipping. These cigar boxes are the old-style cardboard type, the ones we probably all grew up with around […]

Mimi is sure the lighting for this photo is horrible. So am I! As soon as we had some sun she and Mewsette and I ran out to set up the photo. Then the sun went in. But we are sure you can see the boxes well enough for now. This new batch of keepsake […]
My Spring Cleaning Special Discount of 50% off original art was such an incredible success I can still hardly believe it. I sold 20 original paintings and sketches, and the net from these sales after shipping and other costs pretty much made up for the income from several vendor shows I missed last year. I’ve […]
I have a baker’s dozen of small keepsake boxes featuring a variety of fine felines in a varity of styles from my portfolio of art. They are made of cardboard or mache, and I leave them unfinished inside. Use them to store your kitty’s keepsakes or your own, or jewelry or office items and much […]
When you are a “cat person”, it seems to begin with day one and work its way all through your life to the end, with cats intertwined with everything in between. And I’ve been looking at this batik I did in sixth grade and thinking how cool it would be to batik again… In 2011, […]

Bernadette Kazmarski is my absolute favorite artist, I have one of her pieces on nearly every wall in my home. One of the things I admire most about her work is her feline art. Bernadette is able to capture cats in a very emotional and authentic way. The light and expressions on her feline subjects are so delightful. No animal has captivated us (and the Internet) quite like the house cat. Bernadette's pieces perfectly replicate the joys our feline friends bring to us.

Friends and I chipped in together and hired Bernadette to create a memorial of a friend’s beloved cat after kitty passed away. The memorial was beautiful! We highly recommend Bernadette’s work.

Bernadette Kazmarski is a friend and talented artist who's an avid cat lover just like us! She has created original cat artwork using a variety of mediums, and has transformed her artwork into such useful giftware items as notepads, garden flags, calendars, greeting cards table decor and votives (one of my personal favorites). She's also an award winning writer. Bernadette is a dedicated cat rescue volunteer and remains active in savings cats' lives.

I love Bernadette's creativity and style. In addition, when I purchase from her, it is from a wonderful, caring person, not a faceless corporation.
