Nice Cat & Mean Cat — Laguna Beach Studio
Behind the Studio
Shadow & Surf Fine Art is run by two very opinionated creative directors who happen to be cats. Together, they oversee every aspect of the studio — from composition and curation to collector relations and strategic napping.
Creative Director
Nice Cat oversees all creative direction, print curation, and collector communications. Known for her impeccable taste, gentle disposition, and ability to nap directly on important paperwork.
Managing Partner
Mean Cat handles studio operations, hospitality partnerships, and quality control. Her exacting standards and zero tolerance for mediocrity have made her the most respected (and feared) partner in Laguna's art scene.
Hover to reveal color — Laguna Beach, California
Our Story
Laguna Beach has long been home to artists drawn to its extraordinary light — the way the Pacific catches gold at dusk, the way marine fog softens every edge at dawn. Shadow & Surf was founded in that tradition. We photograph the beach as it lives: unposed, unfiltered, and alive with the energy of waves, surfers, and the shifting California sky.
All prints are produced in limited editions of 25 on archival Baryta paper.
Trade & Hospitality
We work directly with designers, owners, and creative directors on site-specific fine art programs — from a single signature piece to a full multi-property rollout.
01 — Hotels & Resorts
Lobby walls, suites, and spa corridors. Oversized museum-grade prints that translate a property's sense of place into a quiet, lasting first impression.
02 — Restaurants & Bars
Coastal mood-setting for dining rooms, chef's counters, and private rooms. Curated in collections of three to twelve, framed to your interior palette.
03 — Hospitality Groups
Multi-property programs with a consistent visual language. One studio, one signature, scaled across every location with full provenance documentation.
