Accompanying this commercial art endeavor are acrylic on canvas paintings/illustrations of cats of arbitrary colorations, fantasy minotaurs and hamsters, and a suite of twelve cat portraits with purposeful distortion plus cats adorned with bird plumage. he artist has also included an achromatic self-portrait acrylic painting derived from a reflected surface that altered her image.

Also included in this exhibition are a suite of distorted cat pencil drawings and a computer generated "court of cats" as face playing cards.

Cats also appear as stoneware ceramic sculpture, along with other animal forms and some non-objective ceramics. raditional glazed stoneware ceramics also appear in the form of plates, platters, vases and other containers.
