Textiles
Home Decor from the StudioSeveral years ago my interests in photography, printmaking, textiles and art history culminated in a series of prints on silk. A further interest in “making spaces” or interior design led me to making works of art that are functional – riding that line between artistry and artisanship – and a small business was born. Sometime this past summer I realized I really wasn’t that interested in the pursuit of marketing, pr and sales and have returned to the studio to rediscover why I headed down this path in the first place. On this page I will post links to the work that interests me currently, one of a kind and limited editions for the most part. Many of the most sought after designs I have created over the last several years may be found in the archives pages. When you see something you want to talk about, give me a call or send me an email! I will probably be in the studio! Katherine
