Catherine Lawes, Diploma of Architecture, is an award winning Textile Artist, Quilter and Designer in Marlborough, New Zealand. She will be returning to live in England from December 2012.
Inspired By Nature
Catherine uses many glorious fabrics and stitch techniques to create individual pieces of decorative, functional and wearable art. Her works illustrate her abstract style which she collages to achieve a painterly effect. Inspiration comes from the intricate patterns and textures, colour and play of light found in nature. Through the use of many different materials the feelings and emotions generated by a scene are captured.
Catherine’s background in Architecture shows in her ability to plan and construct complex pictures and clothes in 2D and 3D. She is influenced by the work of many internationally known quilters, artists, designers and through the rhythm of music. Catherine has exhibited widely in England and New Zealand. She has made several commissions and loves the challenge of creating to deadlines and of particular themes.
