Cats!
CATS! My first cat collage was created in 1993 just months after I started collaging for personal enjoyment and relaxation. The cats on trash cans reminded me of living near San Francisco where it was often overcast. My father didn't seem to like cats since alley cats hung out on our back fence and make a racket, fighting with others. I found something endearing about them although only growing up with a fish tank and small turtles. Most of those I've met were very welcoming and shared a connection. Although I've done several collages featuring a variety of various creatures besides humans, cats often appear in my Halloween illustrations, being that I am fond of cats besides loving Halloween celebrations. Here is a selection of cat themed collages. There were a couple other of early cat collages that were featured in my Halloween exhibit in San Francisco, but unfortunately were chewed up by mice in a storage unit... no accounting for taste (LOL)
