ABOUT

Concept
Garden Cats is a collection of whimsical feline illustrations inspired by the connection between cats, flowers and the natural world. Each piece pairs a distinctive cat character with a different botanical setting, creating colourful scenes with a gentle storybook quality.

Execution
Each illustration was painted traditionally by hand, combining expressive animal portraiture with detailed flowers and foliage. I used vibrant colour, texture and characterful expressions to give each cat its own personality while keeping the collection visually connected.

Result
The finished series brings together my love of animals, botanical subjects and narrative illustration. The collection reflects the style I am developing for children’s publishing, editorial illustration, greeting cards and other character-led creative projects.
