Anarkitty paints more for self discovery than as a means of expression. Inspiration comes from an amalgam of perceptions, and feelings from fleeting moments in time that she find beautiful, ascinating and provocative.

At times unable to make any sense of them in her mind she draws. These daydreams and fantasy’s she plays out through her paintings in an environment in which she feel confident and free.

A prevalent theme running through her pieces stems from her fascination with Cats! Inspired by their idiosyncratic ways, her “Ladies” have the same arcane attitude encased in a provocative and curious beauty.

She wants them to be comfortable within their own bodies; knowing their own mind; to have no feeling of restraint from surrounding judgements. Like cats, they have their own complete and individual personality with which they have a total sense of ease.

Within her approach and technique there is an inadvertent sort of dualism. Her paintings possess a child like sweetness but with dark
undertones. She uses outlines that are strong and controlled whereas her blending technique is soft and light.

Her choice of colour can change from bright and colourful to dark and moody. She currently uses acrylic on wood or canvas. She strives to avoid becoming too entrenched in her comfort zone as therein lies predictability.
