About

A smiling cat is happy and content with the world. My goal is to be as happy and content as a smiling cat and for me, that means releasing my creative expression through art and illustration.

Smiling Cat Studio is named for the happiness and contentment I feel when creating something new, like a happy cat in a sunbeam! While I was originally juried into Heartwood with my hand-pulled linoleum block prints (linocuts) of baskets, I've since moved on to linocuts of cats and paintings of other animals that I've turned into cards and frameable prints. I also enjoy dabbling with other artistic mediums, line drawing, illustration, surface pattern design, embroidery hoop art, and writing among other creative pursuits.
