Original Designs – Cat & Animal Artist

Welcome to my website – I update it at least once a week, so you will always find something different to see. I specialise in cats – mainly Siamese and Devon Rex, but I paint all breeds and other felines. I also paint other pets such as Guinea Pigs (and their wild cousins, the extremely large Capybara,) dogs, horses and other animals and subjects. My aim is to capture their personalities in a variety of styles, from realistic to decorative, to comical.

In my online shop you will find original paintings, Limited Edition prints, hand-painted jewellery and other specially selected items. I will be adding more items all the time so please visit again soon. Also, take a look at my Ebay and Etsy shops for a wide variety of prints, comical and informative signs, greetings, Christmas and other special occasion cards. I also have exciting new items for sale in my weekly Ebay auctions.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I was born in North West London, and after spending most of my childhood drawing and painting animals, moved to Folkestone. I studied at Maidstone College of Art. Home is now a village in between Folkestone and Canterbury, on top of the North Downs in Kent.

I have enjoyed the company of Siamese cats for over 30 years, and now share my life, lap and studio with Oliver, a Sealpoint Siamese, and Wispa, my tortie Devon Rex girl.

LITTLE AND LARGE DO TOPIARY

 

Little and Large are back from a short holiday and are currently sprucing up their garden with a bit of topiary.  This original ACEO painting is currently in auction on Ebay.

 

 

 

 

 

HANDPAINTED SHELTIE GUINEA PIG PEBBLE ON CUSHION

This lovely Sheltie Guinea Pig is one of my latest handpainted beach pebbles.  She lies curled up on her real fabric, padded cushion – an ideal way to display your pebble.  The weight of the pebble gives the impression she is snuggled into her bed in a realistic way, and the presentation box makes an ideal base for the cushion.  She is in auction on Ebay, along with another Guinea Pig – a little tri-coloured Dutch.

 

 

 LITTLE OWL PEBBLE

This unusual-shaped pebble cried out for an owl to be painted on it!  I have painted him in bright, rainbow colours, with metallic gold details.  He recently sold in my Etsy shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

UNUSUAL HANDPAINTED ITEMS

I have done some quirky artworks in the past, and one of these was this very large, Egyptian-style mirror.  She had the piece of MDF cut to size specifically for her bathroom, to be placed above her washbasin.  I would have loved to have seen the whole of her Egyptian bathroom!

 

3 – DIMENSIONAL PAINTINGS

I particularly enjoy doing 3 – dimensional paintings, and this Guinea Pig one sold on  Ebay recently.  In this one, I have made and painted a separate, vintage-looking price tag, and have attached it with real ‘string’ around the pig’s neck.  I have taken a photo at an angle which illustrates this far better than my usual scanned image.

 

HANDPAINTED SIAMESE TABLE LAMP BASE

I have just added this lovely large table lamp base to my online shop. It is a large and impressive lamp base, and a shade which echoes the angled shape would suit it. I have carried the painting on the cat over to the sides of the base – see my Blog for photos. This is a one-off – so don’t miss it!

 

 

 

 

 

STRETCHED CANVAS PRINTS

I have been investigating having my images printed onto quality stretched canvases, and my first one is of my most popular images, Nimrod, the Greyhound. I am very impressed with the print quality, and the quality of the stretched canvas itself – as it is virtually identical to the original painting! The canvas measures 8 x 6 inches by 1 3/4 inches deep, giving it a substantial ‘art gallery’ look.

If I there is a particular print of mine which you would like reproduced as a stretched canvas please let me know!
