"All Art Should be Cat Art!"

Why paint cats, you ask?
When I was invited to participate in Cat Art Show LA 2014 the exhibit featured over 100 pieces of cat art by 78 artists. I had to pinch h myself!
Many participating artists were well known, artists I never dreamed I would be exhibiting with. To say the least it was amazing LA experience. The line to get in the exhibit over one block Long for almost the entire evening. I was invited back in 2016 and 2018. This series of events opened up a whole new universe of cat culture for me. I had no idea just how popular cats are.
It must be said that in 2015 curator, Susan Michals lifted cat culture to new heights, with the creation of CatCon. I got invited to that too, which furthered my own interest in being a contributor to the movement, and all II had to do is keep doing what I love!
Soon events led to me to create of my own cat art show fundraisers. It's an idea that has exploded, because it works, it's fun and all manner of kitties are saved!
In my experience cats have a funny and even profound effect on artist’s imaginations. They are the purrrfect muse.
It's fun to paint cats in their infinite forms and gestures. I'm proud to be a part of the legacy of such beautiful loving creatures.

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.
