Cathryn Miller
b. 1950, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Toronto-born artist Cathryn Miller began weaving in 1974 after setting up a studio in Grasswood, a small community near Saskatoon.
Self-taught, Miller’s textiles were regularly chosen for the Saskatchewan Handcraft Festival Juried Exhibition, from which this work was purchased by the Saskatchewan Arts Board (now SK-Arts). The complex interplay of geometric forms, whether in weaving or in paper, have interested Miller throughout their career.
