The Meaning of Life

‘The Meaning of Life’ (Le Sens de la Vie)

We’re all just blue cats on roller skates with internal wiring we don't quite understand.

We spend so much time looking at others, thinking they've got it all figured out. In reality? We're all just improvising.

This piece is about the beauty of that confusion, and the constant contemplation (is that mouse looking at a power point or the secrets of the universe?).

Set against a high-voltage yellow, this original painting is a daily reminder that it’s okay if you’re still figuring out where your plug goes.

In every work of art, there’s a bit of the artist…and a lot of their cat.

Gail is the kind of cat lady who has crossed the point of no return, so of course she now immortalizes her furry overlords in paint.

Not your everyday aloof house cat that sometimes brings you a dead mouse to say, “Hey lady, here’s that rent I owe you for food and board,” but cats who quote Ricky Gervais at 3 a.m., cats who insist on philosophical debates before breakfast and cats with enough personality to start their own sitcom. Felines that are impossible to ignore, and ones you’ll fall in love with and want to adopt into your home.

Gail could pretty much paint anything, but let’s be real her cats have unionised and demanded full artistic representation. That said, they’re not averse to letting her dabble in the odd abstract expressionist work.
