Current Second Life exhibits include Cat’s Beach Gallery, Avalon and Art Center Gualdo. Please see my profile picks for a complete listing.
My challenge as a Second Life photographer is to show the human side of the female avatar: beautiful, natural and sensuous, as they relate to the SL environment, and to the camera. My photographs invite the viewer to share intimate moments; to find the story behind the picture.
SL may be a virtual world, but I think those of us who inhabit it realize that we are NOT virtual people. An avatar is more than the sum of its pixel parts! When I look at SL avatars I see grace, beauty, conflict, fear, playfulness… the whole gamut of the feelings and experiences that unite real people in SL just as they do in RL.
I bring my background in art and figure drawing to these unique photographs. I have studied the figure in places as diverse as the University of British Columbia and the Art Institute of Chicago. I found a unique opportunity in Second Life to show this virtual world and the people who inhabit it, in a way I had never seen before.
Second Life always surprises… a trick of light, an unexpected gesture or expression, a distortion, a moment captured just as it might be in Real Life.
Beautiful custom portraits are also available; please get in touch to find out more.
I hope you will enjoy the art you purchase as much as I enjoy creating it, and and I look forward to meeting you at my Second Life exhibits and gallery!

your work, she is so lovely. In Italy, we make a saying, “the ass of the flower is prettier than the face of the ass.” I say that maybe, five or four times a day. Sometimes, i say it with my mouth full of pasta. So that is why you must continue to draw these photos and eat breakfast every day at noon.

Ciao RAGo; the reason I sleep so late is because I toss and turn all night, fantasizing about the asses of my Italian comrades. And don’t speak with your mouth full.

As my brother Rago say: your lovely work, she is like a day ina da sunshine only without the sunburn. Wait just one minute! Thats what I say all the time. Why that lousy spaghetti-head i am going to kick his ass up and down the boccie court for stealing words right offa my mouth!

Lovely work. I enjoyed my tour of your shop. Left a tip.
You are the Best Cat Lovely Work Doll…
Pretty close to what a real female body would look like. More beautiful than a field of lilies!
Cat, your balance and composition beautifully frames your stunning imagery. The female figure is a staple of fine art and you use it expressively and erotically. your work is as strikingly beautiful as any i have seen in sl. nice job!
Hey goober,
Thanks for the kind words.
