Time to Start Thinking About Mother’s Day?

The design on this box features one of my daily sketches of Mewsette curled with her tiny mama Mimi in a spot of sun at the top of the stairs. It’s large enough to be either a gift or a gift box for a special Mother’s Day gift. This box is hand-painted in Caribbean blue […]

Welcome Spring With Lace and Forget-me-nots, and a Sweet Kitty

As a garden flag to welcome visitors, as a print on your wall to enjoy, or a greeting card to send to a friend, Sophie with lace and flowers will be sure to brighten your springtime greetings. Sophie always watched me leave the house and she took the opportunity to play around with the curtains—often […]

March Featured Artwork and Desktop Calendar: “Blending”

“Blending”, watercolor, 6″ x 9″ © Bernadette E. Kazmarski

I have to confess, I have been waiting to use this painting as a daily calendar and the decision has been difficult because the colors and theme fit into any season. I always match the art to the seasonal light and color, but while this could indeed coordinate with any season it was my favorite […]

Felines and Flowers All-occasion Greetings Package

Back to school, back to work, and the holiday season fast upon us, it’s often a time to send greetings. Some people don’t send cards anymore, and many people keep journals of their days electronically, but still some of my most popular products are greeting cards and calendars. Great Rescues Day Book and nearly all […]

A "Back-to-School" Garden Flag

Last August when my felines and me watched the neighbor kids running for their bus in the morning on the first days of school I remembered this sketch of Stanley from the previous June. It not only had an apple, the universal symbol for “school”, but the background looks like one of those green chalkboards […]

My Feline- and Nature-themed Stuff at "The Outlet Barn"

So who would think a drafty old unheated honest-to-God barn from a long-time farm would be a hot spot for unique art and decorative items? The Outlet Barn Garden and Art Center has been in business in this very same old barn for the past 20 years, with a list of loyal customers and new […]

My Studio Assistants, Supervisors and Inspirations

What would I do without the assistance, guidance and support—and inspiration—of my family of felines? We’ve been busy lately preparing for my upcoming exhibit as well as making several custom orders and packaging orders and shipping them out. So this week, instead of featuring a new product, I’m featuring the diligence and generosity of Mewsette […]
