As a child, my folks had a nice library of books, including many animal books. I spent hours
flipping through them, page after page, studying the photos and facts about various critters. I
especially remember one cat book that had an endearing pose of a teenage Siamese cat, stretched out
in a familiar feline stance, as if to ask, ‘And what do you have for ME?` I remember wishing I could
get a hold of that little cat, and I sketched it on occasion, as if I could bring it to life. After
my parents divorced in the early 80`s (and then reunited!) they underwent the discarding of
‘unimportant` belongings in order to combine households. To my amazement, on a recent visit, tucked
away on a new bookshelf was the familiar childhood book. I took the opportunity to finally turn this
memory into a 3-D reality and, after my recent trips to Africa, titled the piece to reflect the
beautiful similarities in our little house cat and the powerful animals that rule the Serengeti.
