Feline Furniture For A Famous Friend
This week Michelle Fern chats cats with Los Angeles based YouTuber, feline enthusiast, artist, comedian, and amateur woodworker, Daralyn Kelleher about her humorous DIY woodworking YouTube series. She has also spent the most part of 2021 working on specifically unique pieces of cat furniture, one in particular for a famous celebrity cat lover. Tune in!
BIO:
Daralyn was born and raised in Harvard, MA and studied at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Prior to settling in Los Angeles, Daralyn had pursued acting and performed stand-up comedy for five years in New York City, continuing for one year when she returned to Los Angeles. With the onset of Coronavirus’ cultural and global restructuring, Daralyn found herself with the spare time to begin a new chapter in her life.
Making the best of her newfound spare time during the mandated quarantine, Daralyn decided to try her hand at the art of creating furniture. It wasn’t long before she fell in love with the independence, she felt instilled in her through the hobby, and she was happy to showcase each new attempt—some unsuccessful, but always humorous—on her DIY YouTube series “Daralyn Kelleher” which currently has 25,000 views.
Being the animal enthusiast that she is, Daralyn also began volunteering at a cat rescue renamed Luxe Paws, with a primary goal of trapping stray cats throughout the city in order to get them the care they need. A self-described “cat lover,” when she isn’t making videos or cuddling up to her own feline companion, Jerry, she can be found trying to tame the feral felines walking the streets of LA. No doubt the philanthropic side of Daralyn’s talent will continue to thrive alongside her newly found calling in the realm of woodworking and entertaining.
