Cattoo's Profile

Bio

I am an Artist and Youth Worker, who lives in the city of Hull (UK) with a film addict husband and a sleepy black cat .

My illustrations are a representation of my life-long love for cats. Cats have been a big part of my life, firstly there was Sammy the Siamese who had big dazzling blue eyes, then there was Fluffy the Tabby who just loved to be loved, then Neo my current cat who just loves to sleep and eat! Every cat like human has its own story to tell, including some violin moments and some magical moments and that's why I like to draw them.

I use a range of tools to produce my visual artwork, these include graphite, ink, digital, watercolour, acrylic and oil pastel. I am also attracted to intricate patterns, vibrant colours, humorous stories and Japanese art.

From time to time I also like to produce some 3D piece's. These include paper mache cats and retro fabric cat plushies.
