Congratulations to Maartje Fleetwood for Fashionable Feline earning Best in Show in Wild Heart Gallery's ROAR: The Art of Cats exhibition. The artwork is a brilliant balance of loose and controlled brushwork, vibrant color and subtlety. 

ROAR is an international juried art exhibition available to view on line. Artists were asked to submit artwork in any style as long as it incorporated either wild, feral, or domestic cats. The virtual exhibition was open to international artists aged 18 and over. 

Artwork for this exhibition was selected by jury based on originality, technique, skill, and quality of work.
