Artists of the Month at Gallery 23 are Yanina Siani, jeweler, and Catherine Marchant, fiber and bead artist.  Their work will be featured in the windows at Gallery 23 throughout April.

Catherine Marchant, Fiber and Bead Artist

“I began working with fiber at age 9, when I learned to knit, says Catherine.  “I began spinning in 1984 and weaving a year later.  In 2000 I earned a Certificate of Spinning from Ontario Handspinners and Weavers. Somewhere along the way a weaving friend introduced me to the world of bead weaving and I acquired another addictive pastime. I love to use bright colors and include glittery threads and beads. I want the people wearing my creations to stand out.”
