Helping animals through art!

I am a proud member of Etsy For Animals; Artists helping Animals, otherwise known as efa. It is a wonderful group of talented and compassionate artists who donate proceeds from their items in their Etsy shops to help a selected charity each month.
This month, the charity is Town Cats of Ocean City, which is based in Maryland, providing feral cats with services such as food, a no-kill shelter, spay/neuter, vaccinations and adoptions. I have donated my print "The Sleeping Cat" to the Etsy For Animals shop, and it was featured in the efa blog! Check it out!

100% of the proceeds of that print (minus S&H costs) goes towards helping the animals! *purrr*

Also, all items in my personal Etsy shop tagged with 'efa' goes towards helping the animals too!

Welcome To Catland




..."And Catland, sometimes called Pussydom, opens for you instantly, it's the inmost light, it's the inmost light!".... Current 93


Welcome to my Catland. A place where all cats are free, colorful and happy! I incorporate my love for our feline friends into my cat art and hope that in turn, it makes other people happy and appreciate the gifts that cats, and all animals give us. I believe many human beings can learn from animals - the way animals love unconditionally - they don't care what color we are, what race we are, what religion we believe in, or don't believe in, what mood we're in, what color are hair is - animals do not judge, they love us unconditionally, and sadly, I can not say the same for all human beings.


I love all animals, but cats have an extra special place in my heart. And with my love of cats, I create many cat related arts and crafts, such as cat paintings, handmade catnip toys, and other items with cats featured on them such as magnets, tag bookmarks, decorative boxes, and more!
To the right is one of my most popular paintings, "The Sleeping Cat". It is based on my own cat of almost 18 years, Ms. Abigail, otherwise known as Abbey. I fondly refer to her as my 'mews' (muse;) for most of my cat paintings. Cats greatly inspire me, and just like my favorite artist Louis Wain, through my own cat art, I'm creating my own Catland. This blog is about my cat art, my Etsy shop, cat and other animal charities I belong to and support, and other random things about my life. I hope you enjoy your visit at my Catland!
