In January, 2005 Curiosity, my cat companion of 15 years, left this good green earth.  She was a sweet and sacred gift that I will always treasure.  Her influence is still with me as I look back over several of my creations that focused on cats.  Like "Green Eyes on Ham" , which is one of my favorites.  It emerged from a sequence of events starting with a gift of ham from a friend at Christmas time.  As "Curiosity" sat with her bright, green eyes glued on the ham, my husband commented "Green eyes on Ham." . At that point an image popped up in my brain.  I raced to my sketch pad to capture the lines as they assembled themselves..  After her death I was fortunate to have a creative project to work on that was completely about cats.  Dena Harris, my friend and "Writer Extraordinaire", asked me to illustrate her book of humorous cat stories.  I couldn't believe it.  What a JOY!!!   To be immersed in creating nothing but cat images for weeks at a time, was the salve that my suffering soul needed.  It was a healing opportunity to help me with my grief. Now the book titled "Lessons in Stalking: Adjusting to Life with Cats" is complete.  In addition to the book, Dena and I have selected several illustrations to offer as note cards.   To view these Comical Cat Cards, just click here.
