Catherine Lawes is a textile artist, tutor and house designer, living in Marlborough, New Zealand.

Catherine uses many glorious fabrics and stitch to create individual pieces of decorative and wearable art. Her works illustrate her abstract style which she collages to achieve a painterly effect.

CREATIVITY IS THE FIRE OF INGENUITY THAT IGNITES DAILY LIFE AND
ILLUMINATES A BETTER FUTURE

Her love of nature is a common theme that runs through her works. Many of the intricate patterns and textures she creates are inspired by the natural world and pick out Mother nature's colours in all their glory

"The aim is to capture the essence of a place or event that takes the observer into that world." - Catherine Lawes
