Author Description

Decades ago, Mimi Vang Olsens subjects were New Yorks well-heeled humans, not their cats. In her detailed domestic scenes, felines made appearances when they were part of a family she was commissioned to paint, but they were not the focus. Today she travels the world, meeting with cats and gathering the information she needs to create her colorful and folksy pet portraits. Through careful observation, she is able to capture on canvas the unique personality of each feline subject.
