Aiva
/
Aiva, also affectionately known as ‘McGee’ and ‘Tinker,’ is definitely not your conventional indoor-loving docile Persian cat. She is an avid explorer of the outside world with a particular penchant for human foods and will happily pinch the caramelised pineapple off your summer Mojito, as owner Ellie can testify.
Her portrait was a real study in the spectrum of colours found in white, along with her extraordinary eyes and mischievous expression! Ellie requested a pink background in the end, matching the favourite pink chair Aiva likes to sit on when indoors.
Happily Aiva approved the portrait and even tolerated a greeting card of it!
“The portrait was amazing. It’s such a true likeness to Aiva mid-meow! It’s really playful, much like my kitty’s character. I’d never commissioned an artwork before. This was a completely new experience. Susie is very warm and personable and offered so many flexible options, such as changing the background and choosing how to mount the artwork and I really appreciated the option of having the portrait posted out to me. I think what was especially lovely was seeing how the artwork progressed in a video snippet. I also loved that she used music alongside this, which matched the personality of my cat very well.”
