Bessie Bamber was a British artist who specialised in paintings of domestic pets, particularly kittens and cats. Little is known of her life, and it is not known if Bamber was her maiden or married name. She worked in Liverpool from the late 1800's to the 1920's. She was reportedly born in Birkenhead near Liverpool.
