I created this series to highlight the many quirks and moods that make cats endlessly fascinating. From the existential crisis of a wide-eyed ginger cat to the silliness of a black kitty caught mid-mlem, each painting exaggerates their expressions and unique perspectives. Whether you’re a cat parent or simply a fan of lighthearted, playful art, these paintings are sure to bring a smile to your face.

Where ‘Close Encounters’ zooms in, ‘Feline Flows and Poses’ zooms out—capturing the full-bodied elegance (and ridiculousness) of cats in motion. This ever-growing collection features cats in their most iconic poses: the ‘loaf,’ the ‘squiggle,’ the ‘flop,’ and, of course, showing off that floofy ‘belleh.’

Each piece embraces the natural fluidity of feline movement, celebrating the way cats can be both majestic and utterly unhinged within the span of five seconds. Whether it’s a perfect circle of a curled-up napper or a mid-stretch masterpiece, every pose tells a story—and if you’ve ever lived with a cat, you’ve seen these stories play out in real-time.

Both collections tap into the universal cat experience: the adoration, the confusion, the sheer awe of their weird and wonderful ways. Whether you’re giggling at a ridiculously spherical cat or feeling personally judged by an intense stare, my work is a celebration of the creatures that rule our homes and our hearts.

I hope these paintings make you smile! So, if you’re a fan of floofs, derps, and everything in between, keep an eye on JoyousJoyfulJoyness’ growing feline empire. After all, who better to immortalize our beloved chaos gremlins than an artist who truly understands their magic?
