About the Artist

Cat Donohue is a Swiss-born artist who currently resides on Long Island, drawing abundant inspiration from its beaches and coastal landscapes. Growing up in the picturesque city of Lucerne, Cat's artistic journey led her to Paris, where she honed her skills at the École Supérieure De La Mode, earning a degree in Textile and Fashion Design. This experience ignited a lasting passion for fiber, textiles, and the creation of unique art pieces.

Following her studies, Cat gained experience in Parisian Fashion Trend offices before contributing her design expertise to the renowned Ermenegildo Zegna in New York City. During her time in New York, she collaborated with numerous high-end Italian fashion houses, developing a refined sense of color, texture, movement, and flow—qualities that now define her fiber art creations.

  • After moving from city life to raise a family, Cat channeled her design background into home decor, partnering with interior designers on Long Island. Her lifelong love for "making" and crafting unique items, whether through painting, drawing, or other artistic pursuits, culminated in her recent passion: "knotting," which she discovered during the pandemic.

  • Cat's artistic exploration delves into the captivating interplay of design, fiber, texture, and scale, resulting in wall hangings that not only infuse homes with a tactile, earthy warmth but also revitalize ancient Macrame knots with a contemporary approach to color and shape, ultimately elevating the art form to breathtaking new heights.

  • Cat's creativity extends to jewelry and accessories, using decorative knots from around the world, she crafts vibrant necklaces and bracelets. Cat embellishes various ropes with foil heat transfer and embroidery. She empowers clients to express individuality through color and texture, embracing the mantras: "Have fun and be YOU" and "Your vibe attracts your tribe".
