Miriam Slater has been painting animal portraits for thirty years.
She uses techniques of past masters to create romantic and personal portraits in a traditional English style. Recently she has started painting cats in a traditional Japanese theme. She feels that animals like people, are delightfully individual and are especially important because they share with humans the capacity to love. Her dog and cat portraits are in prominent collections including that of Brooke Astor, Jeff Bridges, Henry Kissenger and Jack Nicholson.
