As always we appreciate our donors who attend our events, and anyone who donates to help us help cats and kittens. As you know, all funds raised go toward our medical costs, which were high last year and we are still catching up.

We hope to see you at one of our events!

September Book Club!!!

2024 Logo

September is here and what a better way to celebrate than read the book Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, the second book in the Assistant and the Villain series.

Synopsis of the book: NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ―Mgmt

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs―Kingsley’s included―point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies…including their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so…so…delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

September’s book club will meet on September 26, at the Cattyshack lounge in Lowe Mill, Studio 1062, from 7-9pm. You can reserve your spot through the link below!

Auction Featured Artist of the Day

Our last artist feature is another Lowe Mill Artist with a studio called Symmetrical Universe.

Symmetrical Universe is run by the artist Steve Pitts, who creates all of the work you can see in his studio. The studio is on the second floor of Lowe Mill in studio 2051. Steve draws all of his work with a Radiograph pen which is a technical pen often used by engineers, architects, and drafters, and often uses an ink cartridge rather than refillable tubes. His art is all very sleek and several are fine lined. He has a variety of different types of work ranging from architectural places to machines to mandellas. Steve Pitts has donated several items to the auction and we are happy to feature him in our blog.

You can visit his website at symmetricaluniverse.com

Below is one of the pieces that he donated to our auction

Today we want to focus on someone who seems to specialize in big cats and the female form.

We received donations from the artist Briana Zierman-Felix. She used to have a studio on the first floor but moved up to the second so she could have more space, and everyone is lucky she moved. She has so many original paintings that moving to a bigger studio helped get everything she had seen. Her art is powerful and passionate and all of it evokes a feeling, what that feeling is will be up to the viewer of the art.

You can buy her art in her studio at Lowe Mill at 2005, or visit her website brianaziermanfelix.com.

Here is one of the items she has donated to our auction.

Auction Featured Artist of the Day

The artist for today is actually a group of sisters. They donated several different items to the medical fund auction, and their studio has so much great art to see that I highly suggest you go and see it.

Cre8tive Sistas Studio is located in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment building in studio 262 and 263 on the second floor. The “sistas” create art out of reused, recycled, and repurposed materials. What this means is that often you will not see the same art pieces and every piece will be unique. They also delve into a variety of genres, including one of my favorites – steampunk! You can check them out at their studio or head on over to their Facebook page – Cre8tiveSistas.

Here is one of the many pieces that they donated to our auction.

We have so many great artists and vendors that have donated to our online medical auction, so it is hard to choose who to feature in these daily posts! On the last day of the auction we will be posting a list of every artist who donated and their website or social media.

Today we want to shine a spotlight on Delta Dogwood Studio. Delta Dogwood Studio is located in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment Building, in studio 2047. Artist Stephanie Flier is the artist and all her prints are hand inked and printed, making them especially delightful.

You can visit Delta Dogwood Studio in Lowe Mill or visit the studios website at deltadogwood.com

Here is one item that Stephanie of Delta Dogwood Studio donated to the auction.
