ABOUT CAT

Cat Babbie is a material-focused abstract fiber artist and craft collector. She has been making art as soon as she could hold a crayon and cut up her mom’s gardening catalogs to make collages. Her practice is ingrained in various textile techniques ranging from machine tufting and weaving to wool and paper sculpture. Dyeing and painting materials for these pieces is as important as mixing colors is to a painter and expands the potential depth of color exponentially. 

​

Her work has been exhibited in various group and solo shows, including ArtFields, Charlotte International Arts Festival (CIAF), Good Year Arts, and ArtPop Street Gallery. She studied studio art at James Madison University and has grown increasingly deep roots in Charlotte, NC, where she works out of her colorful studio located in the VAPA Center.
