Description

Sherry Gara Cat Paintings Pair — Vibrant Acrylics on Canvas Panel

Pair of colorful feline paintings by Sherry Gara (1938–2025), a New Mexico artist known for her expressive acrylic work and lifelong love of animals. Each painting captures a whimsical cat rendered in Gara’s signature bold outlines and bright, contrasting hues of red, yellow, and green. One features a spiral-bellied cat with wide violet eyes, while the other presents a reclining striped cat with vivid green eyes. Together, they embody Gara’s playful, Pop-Surrealist approach and her affection for animal subjects.

Gara lived in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where she was deeply involved in animal welfare and community art. Her works, occasionally appearing at regional auctions, reflect a joyful, personal vision filled with color and compassion.
