Cathe Kervan
This is the fourth in a series of profiles of the artists
who are living the Tallulah Life.
My interest in fabric artistry began when my mother taught
me how to make my own clothes at age 12. By high school, I was sewing
one-of-a-kind prom dresses and even swim suits. Later, at a small, liberal arts
college in southwest Virginia, I had the wonderful opportunity to study fiber
arts.
All of these early events set the stage for my life-long
work in design with fabric, fibers and needles. I snatched time to quilt, knit
or sew whenever possible during my 30-year career in public relations and
marketing. Along the way, I began incorporating photography in my artwork.
I also freelance as a residential painter, taking on small
jobs for other people and tackling my own home improvement projects at my
Hanover County, Virginia home. If you come searching, you will most likely find
me in my back room studio, absorbed in the creation of something artsy.
I am greatly indebted to my fellow Tallulah artists for the
abundant creative inspiration and personal encouragement they give me.
