Hey, I'm Tara! Welcome to my cat party!

 

I love cats. I love love lovvvvve them!! I really really do. I've been completely obsessed with them ever since I can remember. So it's only natural that, as a print designer, I started to illustrate them!

​

I've been a print designer for 19 years now. I've designed fashion prints for Topshop, stationery prints for Accessorize, and I've even had my own fashion brand, sold by big retailers, such as Asos. But now it's time for something new!​

​

Back in 2024, I submitted a framed cat painting to the Festival of Cats, and was delighted to be accepted! I sold the original painting at the show, and some art prints of it too! The festival returned in May 2026, and I sold 4 brand new artworks there, along with some ceramic cat trinkets - and I was amazed to hear that I was the top seller from the show! It made me feel like I could actually do this! So in August 2026 I traded in my fashion brand for a new life as an illustrator/artist. 

​

Those that remember my brand will tell you that my cats definitely have a similar vibe. My love of vibrant colours and patterns carries through to my kitties, as a celebration of felines. A cat party, if you will!

​

I'm starting out with cats - because cats are life! - but I'm excited to explore lots of themes in my work. And I've got lots of fun ideas for products that I can't wait to create! I hope you'll join me on my new creative journey!
