Catherine Summers, a skilled artist hailing from the rugged Flinders Rangers, embarked on her creative journey early in life. Growing up in an environment that fostered artistic expression, she navigated high school with art lessons conducted through correspondence, and her cherished art supplies arrived neatly packaged in a box, a keepsake she still treasures.
Upon settling in Cleve, Catherine immersed herself in the world of quilting, dedicating 25 years to the Quilters group. Over time, her artistic evolution led her from traditional quilting to the realm of creative textile art, seamlessly merging into textiles and mixed media. For Catherine, creating art is not just a passion but a lifeline; she is addicted to the processes of drawing, stitching, painting, and sewing.
Harnessing her accumulated skills, Catherine transforms her collection of fabrics and papers into captivating small artworks and journals. Recently making a home in the picturesque Barossa Valley, Catherine has discovered new opportunities to showcase her art. In pursuit of her artistic aspirations, she has initiated a small creative business known as Fibre Bird Studio, where she continues to share her unique vision with the world. |
