Kathy Crabbe author boxABOUT KATHY CRABBE

I am a Canadian born self taught intuitive artist and soul reader currently living and working in the desert valley of Southern California surrounded by ancient oaks and an elfin forest. I live in a home created by my husband that we share with our cat and dog, Abby and Spartacus. Gnomes, aliens and fairies have also been spotted here. I’ve been drawing since age two and giving intuitive soul readings since 2008.

Valentine's are for Cats and Dogs!

Would it surprise you to know that  the results of a survey asking women what makes them extremely happy listed "Pets" at the top with 42%, sex was listed second at 27%, then food, shopping and the economy.  I would have to agree! How 'bout you? (This survey is from Women Want More by John Jantsch). I know that my own 4 legged friends have brought tons of love into my life so that I can't imagine living without them.  Right now I have a cat and a dog, Abby and Spartacus, both black and white. Pets have always been a major inspiration for my work especially for the LuLu in Laguna Series which I painted on silk using silk dyes and gutta resist. What incredible luminosity and vibrancy silk gives to the work which I believe is unmatched by any other medium I've discovered.

The paintings below honour the great Kitty and Doggy loves of my life: Honey, Smokey, Manon, Hollyhock, Truffles, and Luis plus Abby & Guinness. All paintings are for sale. Most are painted on silk using silk dyes.
