Around 30% opted for the latter, which means that a print of 'Purrty' in her most vivid form will be trialled as a poster print and greetings card which will go on sale on the website on 20 June 2016. The other image may be printed later in the year. 'Purrty' is originally a painting on gold leaf with a coating of resin over...
