About Kathleen Warren

I make abstract textile collages that remind us of being in nature. 

The beauty of nature gives us a sense of calm. I try to recreate that through my art. You will see places that inspire me throughout all my art; sunrises over a lake 🌅, clouds in a blue sky 🌤, a forest 🌲or prairies starting to bloom 🌱🌻.

My creative process involves taking apart discarded clothes like old shirts and jeans. I paint these materials to invoke the colors and textures of nature. Then I cut the painted fabric and sew the pieces together. The last step is to add thread embellishment by hand and sewing machine.
The Online Pre-Sale for the 2022 Mother Earth Market will be available 9am, April 30 - 9pm, May 6. Visit the In Person Sale at Brushwood Center on May 7 & 8 for an even wider selection of items for sale, giveaways and discounts as well as a full schedule of activities and events!
