Cat Tesla – acrylic and mixed media Originally from St. Louis, Cat now resides in the Atlanta area. She states that her work is an ongoing exploration of organic abstract designs executed in mixed media on canvas and birch supports. Texture, color, and the juxtaposition of shapes intrigue her. The subjects she chooses to paint are organic, either originating from Mother Nature or inspired by her. She begins her mornings with meditation (and sometimes yoga) before going to her studio to paint. Morning meditation and prayer clears her mind to focus on truth, flow, and harmony. The artist seeks to transport the viewer into a realm of calm and respite, or perhaps to recall a memory of a favorite place or loved one. Centuries ago the Persian poet and mystic, Rumi, put it simply: “Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.”
