Watercolor Cats: Les Chats Curieux

A playful departure from the artist’s usual realism, this watercolor collection captures a series of wide‑eyed, mischievous cats peeking around invisible corners. Their exaggerated expressions—equal parts amused and surprised—bring a sense of lightness and gentle humor to the gallery.
Created during recovery from bilateral mastectomy surgery, these whimsical pieces emerged at a time when movement needed to be slow, soft, and forgiving. Painting these curious little cats became a way to stretch, practice, and stay connected to creativity without pressure. Their bright eyes and silly personalities offered small moments of joy, reminding the artist that healing can include laughter and play.
Together, these works celebrate curiosity, resilience, and the unexpected comfort of a friendly face appearing just when you need it.
Take a moment to explore each cat in this collection—every expression carries its own spark of humor, warmth, and gentle companionship.
