Cat is an artist from St. Petersburg, Russia, whose intricate pen-and-ink illustrations, inspired by the classic children’s novels of the early 1900s, bring timeless wonder to this book. Drawn to music, film, and offbeat culture, Cat finds beauty in the delightfully bizarre, infusing her work with whimsical charm. Her love for animals—from squirrels, mice, and guinea pigs to her cherished childhood dog, Freddy, bought by her grandma outside a subway station—adds a heartfelt touch to her art. Now living in Tennessee with her husband, Clifton, and their three adored cats, Zani, Dasha, and Kevin, Cat continues to create captivating art, music, and music videos, blending nostalgic elegance with quirky flair.
