Welcome to Feral Cat Fine Art
"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time" -Thomas Merton
A Prison Art Initiative
Feral Cat Fine Art is a project inspired by Brian, an artist and former bank robber currently serving a sentence in a maximum-security prison. Its objective is to highlight the positive qualities that many inmates possess in spite of their crimes and to showcase their natural artistic talent that unfortunately was cast aside in their pursuit of criminal activity. Making art is a way for artists in prison to direct their creative energies in pro-social ways and allow them to support themselves through their work.
A Call to Artists!
Brian would love nothing better than to connect with other artists on the outside, to hear your story of your artistic journey, share tips and techniques and just to talk "art". Please consider emailing him at:
bswitham70@feralcatfineart.com
Future Aspirations
Brian would also like to start an Art Therapy Program at USP Terre Haute where he is incarcerated, so that other inmates may reap the same benefit creating art has done for him. This endeavor requires money for art supplies and teaching tools. If you are interested in helping start this innovative and much needed program, your monetary donation will be greatly appreciated. Please contact Brian at bswitham70@feralcatfineart.com for more information.
