Catherine Lawes was born and raised in NZ but ended up living in the UK for many years. Since her return to NZ she has settled in Marlborough and designed and built her own house and studio. She is an Architect by training.
Her Textile work covers a broad spectrum from small quilted items through practical pieces for the home to one off pieces of Wall Art. Many are seen in National and International Exhibitions.
Colour, texture and patterns from nature inspire all her work. Many pieces re -use old and pre loved fabrics. Music themes and song lyrics also inspire her work and music is played to set the mood in her studio for each project.
Her Studio is open to visitors on the Marlborough Art and Craft Trail.
