Artist's
Statement
|
|
My name is Catherine Easton. I am a child of the 50's. My entire life
has been spent on the plains. I love the flat plane of the prairie,
revel in the long views, and appreciate the clear colors. All have a
strong influence on my work. I am largely self taught. Two people I
count as mentors are Bertha Galloway and Don Weddle.
I have
been weaving for about 19 years. I enjoy creating many different woven
pieces. Weaving is an art form one can continue to learn and explore
for a lifetime. I began the odyssey by raising sheep. Many of my
weavings are constructed of home raised, handspun, commercial or
natural dyed yarns. I thrive on beauty and variety.
I live at
the most beautiful place on earth. I find each day a joy of color and
possibility. My pieces are one of a kind. I will gladly work with you
on special orders for particular colors or color combinations on one of
a kind items. I have done commissioned portraits of favored pets,
friends, children, homes, and farmsteads. I would appreciate the
opportunity to attempt one for you.
