Amy Lacombe is an American contemporary ceramic folk artist. She works from her studio in Los Angelos, California where she crafts a number of different things. From cats, to clocks, music boxes, napkin rings, or whatever a client asks for.
"I love people, animals and color, and I like to make people smile. This is the inspiration I use to create my happy bits of art. I am so grateful to be able to incorporate my passions into my work."
The Flamenco Rose Marissa is part of a collection/set that Lacombe started. It features all cats of different personalities. From dancing, to holidays, to seasons and even foods, the cats are endless. Each cat is posed in a similar fashion with a somewhat similar face, but from there, it's hands off, because of how different each cat is painted and decorated. Flamenco Rose Marissa stemed from Flamenco dancing and shows it off with beautiful floral accents.
I believe this cat fits the theme for the gallery because well, purrhaps not all cats are wild in their actions, but they can be wild in style! Flamenco Rose Marissa has that wild side of her on the outside for everyone to see. her striking colours would attract anyone, especially if they wanted a piece of the wild. In part, I chose this piece because this is a wild cat, and well, how could I not include Amy Lacombe. I have been a fan of her work for a while, and have a few of my own Whimsiclay Amy Lacombe cats.
