CATHY KAUFMAN OUR FEATURED ARTIST FOR MAY
“Doing the things that really matter in every season of life - letting God show you what that is…” This is how I try to live my life.
It all started with my mother teaching me to sew at the age of 7 on the farm in Gering, NE. Working with fabric has always been a big part of my life and remains so even today. Some of the fabric tales I have woven are: sewing my own clothes all through high school and college. That continued when I had 3 daughters. I’ve sewn everything imaginable for them including: regular clothes, swimsuits, tutus, fancy dresses, a fur coat and even a wedding dress. I was also delighted to be the costume director of 3 dance schools. In the ‘90’s when the Quilt revolution hit, I pieced, weaved and stitched more quilts than I can remember! While I didn’t have formal training I attended as many Fabric workshops and conventions in the tri-state area as I could.
In the last 2 yrs, I’ve been called on a new journey with my “old love” but with a twist. I’m excited to be creating fabric collage Art. Out of my comfort zone now in the Art world but very much at home with fabric collage. Recently became a certified Laura Heine instructor in her fusible collage technique. I use this technique of building pictures by fusing fabric on fused background then finishing by machine free-motion thread painting. I also LOVE teaching classes using her technique.!
Fabric Art is my passion but encouraging others to - find Jesus and something they can do good with - is my mission.
Esther 4:14 - Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created.
