</p> Fiona Greenhill is an Australian painter working and living in Sydney.

Fiona describes her work by saying, “The major theme throughout my work has always been the perennial problem of representation: where to draw the line between ‘real life’ and ‘art’, illusion and abstraction, transcription and composition. Although we tend to view this question as a peculiarly modern one, the problematic relationship between illusion and reality originates from ancient debates and was one that dominated the art of the seventeenth century as much as it pre-occupies the art of our own time. As such, I am interested in a wide range of painters whose works have incorporated aspects of the pictorial mode evident in lens-based images, be it Vermeer and his lesser known contemporary, Willem Kalf in the seventeenth century, seminal artists from the sixties to the present, such as Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Johannes Kahrs and Judith Eisler, to name only a few.”

We picked out Kiska at our local animal humane center. She was only 2.5 months old. I noticed her furry ears first, she reminded me of a Lynx. When my husband put her in my hand she immediately started purring and I knew she was mine. Her nickname is trouble because she likes to harass our other cat, Kiko and generally wants a lot of attention. If you are doing something she can’t see she will jump up to see what is going on. She makes us laugh with her little chirps and her antics. If she isn’t playing, she is cuddled up sleeping on us.

The post Kiska appeared first on The Daily Kitten.
