Diving Cat Story

I am often asked why I call my studio Diving Cat Studio.  Could it be that I have cared for over 30 feral cats feeding, vetting and loving them throughout my life?  No. that is not the reason, I chose the name.  The reason my studio is called Diving Cat Studio is based more on a feeling. When I was growing up and adventuring into adulthood I found I had an instinctive yearning.  This feeling often pulled me in many directions and into many life lessons.  It was uncontrollable, a pure instinct, much like when a cat spots something in the high grass.  It can’t stop itself from crouching down, winding up and leaping into an unknown situation.  I have the same reaction to life.  I wind up and leap into something I often don’t know and find when I look down at what I have caught it is something that enriches my life even further.  Diving into life not knowing what lies ahead has brought me to where I am now in both my art and my life.  Diving Cat Studio and Art Gallery is the latest leap I have taken on my journey; I can’t wait to see where it will take me next.  Some say look before you leap…. Do leap and see where life will take you, it’s an incredible ride!
