Kathleen "Kathy" Goddu
A ‘Native Mainer’ Kathleen grew up in the country. Nature continues to be her inspiration. Her primary art form is Japanese Fiber Art, but she also sketches, does colored pencil drawings, and sews. She graduated from the University of Maine with a dual degree in Fine Arts and Speech Correction (having three years of art school prior). She was inspired by Shibori and indigo dye during two Japanese Home Stay trips to Onoe, Japan in 2000-2001. She has studied under many great shibori artists/masters in the United States and in Japan. For her, the possibilities are endless as she explores, experiments and continues to expanded her knowledge of various Shibori techniques.
