Artist Erina Yamashita

If you're a cat lover and looking for some great original art, check out Erina Yamashita's sales gallery.

The artist was diagnosed with autism at a young age.

I've been looking at at work by artists either self-classified as "outsider artists" or given that designation by others. I'm finding such gorgeous work.

I found Erina's work on Instagram.

I think her best work is magical. Her drawing, brushwork and sense of composition remind me of the magical pen of B. Kliban sometimes. There's a real sense of attunement with the cat spirit. It's clear her art comes out of a deep bond with and love for cats and their quirky personalities.

I hope her work gets the much wider audience it deserves.
