The Farm’s Cat Cottage Playroom Improvements

If you haven’t been over to the Cat Cottage in a while, you should ask to take a look! This past summer we completely redecorated the Playroom and loaded it with everything a cat could ask to have.

First of all, we asked local artist and animal-lover Julie Tucker to create a mural to grace two of the room’s walls. She works in a variety of mediums, from conté to acrylic to graphite, doing illustrations, portraits, murals, and decorative art. She is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, and she teaches art at The Renaissance Center in addition to a variety of freelance work. Julie is also one of the four artists featured in our lobby offering art by commission.
