"The Cats of The Netherlands" comprises a collection of watercolor paintings that originated from photographs taken during my travels in The Netherlands in 2016.

While exploring the streets with a friend, I captured snapshots of numerous stray cats, which later became the subjects of my artwork. Upon my return to New York, I embarked on the journey of painting each individual feline, resulting in a current count of 13 completed paintings.

In the year 2020, I ventured into crafting my inaugural zine for this series. Each zine encompasses 14 pages, encompassing both cover and back, and delves into the essence of the series. It features six out of the twelve original photographs and paintings from the collection. Fast-forward to 2022, where the series has expanded into Part 1 and Part 2 zines, collectively encapsulating the twelve watercolor pieces. These zines are available for purchase through my Etsy store, as well as being stocked at Quimby's bookstore in Williamsburg and Cats Corner in Catskills.

The zine itself boasts a staple-bound format, printed on 80lb text satin paper, and meticulously crafted using Indesign. Its dimensions measure 148mm x 210mm (5.8" x 8.26"), conforming to the A5 standard, with each zine spanning 14 pages.

Disrupt: Notably, the paintings were showcased at the "Disrupt" art show hosted by Artist and Fleas in 2018. A trio of paintings found their place in their Soho, Chelsea Market, and Williamsburg locations, showcasing the resonance of the collection.
