"Very
few artists can realistically capture a cat's elusive spirit on paper.
Elizabeth Berrien's ability to evoke such powerful spirit in wire, is a
true gift." The world's top cat
breeders celebrate victory by commissioning Elizabeth to create feline
portrait in wire... |
Shorthair Cat
Mask Elizabeth Berrien has never
been without a cat. At cat shows, Elizabeth spends hours nose-to-nose
with top show cats of all breeds, searching out the intangible lines
that define personality and character. She creates stunningly "correct"
wire portraits of all breeds. |
Fluff Cat Mask
|
Maine Coon
Portrait commissioned by
Gabrielle Miller to honor her father's very special relationship with
his three purebred Maine coons.
"My
father loved the cat... still gushing over it! Can you do the other two
in different positions? Thank you again for your beautiful sculpture
and thoughtfulness."
|
Maine Coon
Here you can see the intricate process of Elizabeth Berrien's unique
form of wire sculpture.
Unlike mesh or chicken wire works, Berrien's lace-like approach allows
her to follow the flow of fur and muscle, drawing each distinct and
expressive feature with great accuracy and "correctness".

Kitty Face
(Figment)
Sometimes, Elizabeth gets the sense that she should stop working on a
wire sculpture; to finish it completely would be to lose something
intangible. These "figments" have a particularly ethereal spirit.
