| Instructor: | Catherine Lavoie |
| Instructor Bio: | Catherine Lavoie is a Connecticut native, photographer, quilter, and fiber artist. She is also a retired Nurse Practitioner with 50 years in psychiatric mental health practice. When not in the studio creating art, her favorite place is walking in the woods listening to the birds and the trees. Lavoie is a member of City Gallery in New Haven, and the Kent Art Association in Kent, the Studio Art Quilt Associates, and the Textile Study Group of New York. Her work has been shown at City and Kent, plus the Keller Liddell Gallery in New Haven, Hera Gallery in Wakefield, Rhode Island, El Barrio in East Harlem, and Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury. Amish quilts were Lavoie’s entry into quilting. Doing everything by hand was a joy until the rotary cutter came out, and that changed everything. She studied fine art photography with Tom Hricho in New Haven and eventually found ways to put photographs onto fabric. Around the turn of the century, Lavoie embraced a new movement called art quilts. At this time, she began experimenting with paints, stamps, photographs, natural elements affixed to quilts, and other experiments that are better off kept in silence. Currently, Lavoie is exploring gel plates to create mono prints on fabric. She is also creating various soft sculptures and large abstract quilts for the wall. She sometimes mounts her fiber art onto stretched canvas, and she is beginning to teach what she has learned.
