Many nouns can represent a group of cats: clowder, clutter, glaring, pounce, and cluster. My cluster consists of dozens of cats that have lived with me during my adult life, mostly at my long-time home known as “Fort Bast.” Named in honor of the goddess of cats, Bastet. The paintings shown in “Cluster Memories from Fort Bast,” depict portraits and narrative stories of a number of the cats who’ve made up my feline family through the years.
Award winning Richmond artist, Dana Frostick studied sculpture at VCU in the mid-eighties and became a full-time artist after retiring from the Times-Dispatch in 1999. She’s exhibited extensively locally and regionally and devoted 25 years to Artspace Richmond. Dana is an avid bicycler and a self-proclaimed “kittiot” (one who loves cats beyond reason).
