I'm MCat!

While painting will always be my first love, I'm process-driven and love experimenting with materials. My work is often an exploration of movement and emotion, and focuses on relationships of bodies in space. I strive to have a posture of life-long learning and am constantly changing my process and product.

Much of my work falls into the category of abstraction. However I would love to work with clients to create keepsakes of all kinds to bring joy onto walls. I'm always open to collaborations and commissions. Making Art that is accessible in all it's forms is very important to me, so let's work something out!

 

I Received my BFA  from the University of Mississippi in 2018. I'm currently pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts Degree at The University of North Texas in Denton.
