Feline Portraits and Rescue Stories in a Book You Can Use Every Day

In 2011 I published Great Rescues Calendar and Gift Book, a 16-month desk calendar that included a commissioned portrait of a rescued cat or cats for each month, plus more about the portraits, cats and rescuers in the back and information on cat care. But calendars go out of date and I knew these stories […]

Feline Silhouettes Looking Out the Door

Giuseppe, Mimi and Mewsette spend some time watching out the front door. There are birds fluttering and chipmunks racing back and forth across the porch, Fatso the squirrel runs up and down the tree now and then, butterflies and bees fly around, the leaves flutter in the breeze, now and then a car goes by, […]

November Feline Desktop Calendar Wallpaper, “Cat With Fruit”

"Cat With Fruit" desktop calendar, 1280 x 1024 for square and laptop monitors.

My November desktop calendars always feature warm colors, earth tones, and the idea of giving thanks, feeling safe, warm, comfortable, well fed, with family or loved ones. I also try to vary them from one month to the next in style and medium. That narrows the field down pretty far in what I have on […]

Framing and Selling a Favorite Sketch, “Gentle Highlights”

I usually love big mats because they isolate the art, but on small pieces mats are naturally smaller. A 1” mat is really small though, almost too small. My original choice of mat and frame for this piece was a larger, double mat pulling the dark gray and tan from the sketch with a matte […]

Purchasing a piece of original artwork for yourself or as a gift is no small decision because it’s generally no small expense. Prints are less expensive, but even if the print is excellent quality and identical dimensions of the original you don’t see the live work, the layers of paint or pastel, the actual lines […]

“Awakening” in Warm Autumn Colors and More

Awakening with warm and bright hand coloring.

When I created this 16″ round linoleum block print in 2004, I’d intended for it to be versatile. Beginning with my Tortie Girls block prints a few years previous I’d worked out the mechanics of printing on rice paper that could be hand-tinted to add color in various media, from dustings of pastel to watercolors […]

My Studio Window in Autumn

I’m so excited to offer an image that is so dear to me—one of my cats on my studio windowsill. All the years I’ve been here I’ve loved my time in my studio, which was also once my foster room. I often remark how my cats enjoy spending time with me in my studio because […]

“The Eye Model” Keepsake Box

This photo has long been one of my favorites, taken in my studio where the lighting was good and Giuseppe was getting drowsy supervising me, hence the bedroom eyes. Use for storage for small items, photos or special keepsakes, or use as gift boxes. I choose a variety of papier mâché boxes from the craft […]
