My Annandale: Cat Janice Mural
ANNANDALE, Va. โ€” Annandale has long been home to talented artists and musicians, and few have touched hearts around the world like Cat Janice.

Born Catherine Ipsan the Annandale native was a singer-songwriter whose music inspired millions. After being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, she released her final single,ย Dance Outta My Head, ensuring that all proceeds would support her young son. The song became a global sensation, reaching the top of the TikTok Billboard chart and introducing her remarkable story of love, courage, and resilience to audiences worldwide.

Today, her legacy is being celebrated in Annandale with a beautiful new mural on the side of the Annandale Watch & Clock building at 4221 Annandale Road. The mural depicts Cat singing into a microphone, surrounded by flowers she loved, a star-filled night sky, and the poignant lyric, "I see you in the stars now." The project was inspired by her husband, Kyle Higginbotham, and made possible with the support of her family and the local community.

The mural is more than public artโ€”it is a lasting tribute to an Annandale native whose music, strength, and generosity continue to inspire people around the world.
