Raised in Germany under her grandmother’s sewing table, Cat took her first stitches at age 3, attempting to make pants for her Teddy. She learned to crochet and cross stitch around the same time as she learned to read and write, but with much more enthusiasm. She came to Canada as an exchange student and stayed to study Fashion Design at NBCCD, followed by three years in England, making theater costumes and studying hat making. As a multi-media textile artist, she loves to combine traditional techniques with up-cycled materials in unexpected ways and creating textures too tempting not to touch.
