🌹Artwork by Vanessa Stockard🌹
"Vanessa Stockard is an artist who interprets classic paintings with kittens."
She is an Australian painter who has given the world her reimagining of great classic works. Vanessa's relationship with art developed from a very young age when she invested hours of her life drawing and this was accompanied by piano injuries, which were ultimately the impulses that led her to want to be a creative person. However, during her adulthood she admits that she somewhat envies the creativity she had when she was younger since for her “the young creative mind rests in a castle of lost socks.”
I’ve always had a thing for cats. I love and hate them for different reasons and I find them endlessly entertaining. I grew up with a black Manx cat who was, shall we say, ‘pretty scratchy’ and, well, I guess she stuck with me. She lived a long life and I loved her regardless. I’ve met cats along the way that have made a big impression on me. Obviously, the mangey black Persian I dubbed ‘Satan’ started a journey several years ago, and eventually, I saw an old sock in the studio and thought… That’s a kitten! It wasn’t. But that wasn’t important. That’s a kitten and its name is Kevin. Logical.
