Latest Artwork: "The Muse (Portrait of a Cat)"

As I mentioned earlier in my blog, I will be one of 60 specially invited artists to participate in the first annual Art Show at Malvern Retreat House from Feb. 1 - 5, 2011. This debut show was created by former artists and jurors at the annual Immaculata University Art Show, which has gone on hiatus. For the February exhibit, the most successful artists from Immaculata's show in 2011 were invited to participate in the launch of the Malvern Retreat House's art show.

What this means for me is I wanted to have a bunch of new artworks ready for display, including some smaller works. Since I was having so much fun with the paper mosaic technique on artworks created earlier this week, I decided to make another one in small size for the upcoming Malvern show.

But I also wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. In late November I had adopted a kitten from a cat rescue group called CAPIC CATS in New Jersey. One of the women who organizes rescues had asked me to create a logo for them. I designed one yesterday based off the artwork posted below (which was inspired by my new kitten, Magnus). In addition, I am selling archival art prints with half of the proceeds to benefit CAPIC CATS via my shop on Etsy.

Here are photographs of the original work.
