For all licensing enquiries regarding my artwork please contact my agents at Lickerish: emma.carlsen@lickerishltd.com

Hello, I'm a painter and illustrator from Bedford, UK and I've been using art to populate my world with all kinds of joyful creatures all my life, however I'm most well-known for my images of cats and birds.

My original artworks are sold to collectors globally and there is a wide range of merchandise available featuring my images, from prints and greetings cards to home furnishings and fashion accessories.

I am an animal lover and am vegan, and I use my art to help raise money for animal rescue charities (notably viaPaws With Claws Fundraising).

Two other central things to my life are: being mum to a lovely boy born in 2013, and being a qualified yoga instructor. I can often be found upside-down or bending in weird directions :) You can follow my yoga life on Instagram as @k.i.m_y.o.g.a

Keep up to date with my latest works and news via my profile name kimhaskinsart on FacebookandInstagram.

Posted by artworxgallery on June 8, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Eight More Paws by Kim Haskins *Original*

International best-selling artist, Kim Haskins creates loveable and comical cat characters. Her cats are full of expression and humour, able to make you laugh and fill you with emotion. Her cats have transfixing eyes that speak a thousand words, sometimes containing a look of shock or surprise and other times of love and companionship. Haskins has an amazing talent of bringing life to these characters, and giving them a voice. Her work is affectionate and playful, much like your own cat at home. Her cats are always full of grace and and colour and a loveable addition to any home.

‘Eight More Paws’ is a new original piece by Haskins available at Artworx Gallery. She also has a brand new Spring collection full of charisma, colour and fun.

Collection: Kim Haskins

I was born in 1981 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. During my school years, I was recognized as the class artist, frequently drawing in my classmates' exercise books, creating posters for school productions, and designing t-shirts, among other artistic endeavours. I have a particular affinity for cats, as I share my home with two moggies who tend to remain uncomfortably close to me and my wet paint while I am engaged in my work. I also find joy in discovering beauty and amusement in everyday objects; for instance, jam captivates me with its rich colours and varying degrees of transparency and viscosity, making it a delightful challenge to capture its essence on canvas.

A subtle humour permeates the subjects of my artwork, evident in the frenetic expressions of my chickens and the vacant stares of my exceedingly fluffy cats. Even a two-foot square painting of a doughnut can evoke a sense of absurdity. However, humor does not equate to a lack of depth; I believe that art should elicit emotions, and I aspire for my work to bring joy to its viewers.
