Magic Cats

Celebrating the divine in all creation

The paintings and beadworks of the Magic Cats hint at the mysteries of animism, in which all nature is known to be imbued with spirit. Some of these pieces incorporate sequins, mardi gras beads, and metallic leaf; others are paintings in gouache.

with Dolphins

This piece sparkles, glitters, and changes with the light; neither a photo nor a scan can do it justice. Every bead and sequin is hand-stitched in the manner of a Haitian Vodou banner.
