Why paint cats, you ask?
I participated in Cat Art Show LA 2014 the exhibit featured over 100 pieces of cat art by 78 artists.
Some participants were well known artists that I never dreamed I would be exhibiting with. I was invited back in 2016 and 2018. This opened up a whole new universe of cat culture for me, that felt like destiny.
In 2015 the curator of Cat Art Show LA, Susan Michals, created CatCon. I was invited to participated in that event, also in LA. I had been painting cats all my life and then boom, my career as a cat artist crystalized and with that came a sense of responsibility!
Those events led to the creation and success of my own cat art show fundraisers. It's an idea that has exploded, because it works and it's fun.
In my experience cats have a funny and even profound effect on artist’s imaginations, they ignite it, the right side of the brain, where creative quirky genius happens.
It's fun to paint cats and to be a part of the legacy of such beautiful loving creatures.

Meet our new COSTA RICA - "LA AMISTAD"
Featuring art by Humboldt County artist Rachel K Schlueter.
Costa Rica - "La Amistad" is a medium roasted coffee with a clean, bright and very well balanced coffee with a full body and notes of fruit and chocolate. 100% Arabica Beans.
Rachel K Schlueter b.1960 Chicago, Ill.
Growing up in Chicago, I saw firsthand how important art is. I was in my first group art exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago when I was four. Because in1964 Chicago public schools incorporated a new project called Head-Start, the focus was on art, and kids got to paint! My tempera masterpiece was a monkey swinging on a vine. In the 60’s art education in public schools, was presented through contemporary art films and complex art projects, field trips to museums and city craft houses. The kids had a blast, and the teachers were generous and compassionate, they took on all the messy art projects. Those early years shaped who I am as a person and an artist, so for me, art is about community and healing. Beyond creating art, my vision includes working on a community level to promote public art and art exhibits.
Rachel lives and works in Eureka Ca. with her husband Stock and five cats.
You can find this coffee at Eureka Natural Foods in Eureka, Ca. or give us a call at (707)-444-3969 to
