"All Art Should be Cat Art!"

How I got Cat-apulted into a Fur-real world!
In 2013 I got a call from journalist, Susan Michals inviting me to participate in Cat Art Show LA . The exhibit was touted as the world's best collection of cat art by Time Magazine. The show featured works by top artists; Shepard Fairey, Tarcey Emin. Gary Baseman and many more. I had to pinch myself!
The line to see the exhibit was over one block long all evening! At the show, I stepped out for some fresh air, when a young man standing in line asked me if he was dressed well enough to get in, I assured him there was no dress code. But, people were dressed in all manner of cat-centric finery, some even brought their own fancy cats to see the show...why not? There were no dogs aloud, but one managed to got in.
Because I sold all three of my paintings opening night, I was invited back for "The Sequel" in 2016 and "The Return" in 2018.
This astonishing series of events opened up a whole new universe of cat culture for me. The potential to actually help cats became clear. I would create my own cat art show fundraisers. To date, I've done three very successful cat art fundraisers. With the help of friends we've raised thousands of dollars for kitties in need. Now this trend is normal and happening all over the globe.
Thank Bastet, for kitties everywhere are getting more love and support!
