Welcome to Dancing With Cats, the creative universe of Jess Gilliam—artist, illustrator, and creative director based in California.

This is more than an online shop—it’s a portal into a dreamy, playful world where colors spark joy, animals bring smiles, and art never takes itself too seriously.

As a female artist with a deep love for storytelling through shapes, lines, and unexpected characters, I created Dancing With Cats to share the quirky little creatures that inhabit my imagination. From vibrant illustrations to charming art objects and wearable art, every piece is crafted with intention, humor, and a touch of magic.

I believe that art should feel like a friend, not a lecture. That color can transform a mood. And that the small, strange things—like a cat in mid-dance—are often the most delightful.

Whether you're here to explore, smile, or stumble upon a one-of-a-kind treasure for your home, I hope this whimsical world brings you as much joy as it brings me to create it.

Thanks for visiting. Stay curious—and maybe do a little dance with the cats while you're here.
