I'm a visual artist, children's book illustrator, and pet portrait artist with a lifelong passion for cats. I’m also a cat and dog sitter. Growing up on a farm, I took care of a variety of animals, including horses, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens, with the help of our loyal dogs. I’ve always had feline friends around, and right now, I’m sharing my home with one amazing cat. I adore cats for their unique personalities, soothing purrs, and the comfort they bring. As an artist I can say that all cats are unique and they have own personalities. And it is always mesmerizing me, so I can paint them by their energy and personality. I love to know cats characters. My short name is Basya, and I’ve added my website below. If you’re interested in my artwork, please check it out!
