Cat Wondergem

Ink & Watercolor - Printing | Colorist | Illustration

Cat has known she wanted to spend her life creating visual works since her first art classes in middle school with beloved teacher, Gee Fruit. She studied art at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and has gone on to have various jobs doing glass work, fine jewelry, silk dyeing, and custom pewter work.

When she moved from the mountains of Asheville, NC to the Lowcountry in 2005, her work made the natural transition, as well. The tradition of fine craft that is so prevalent in the Appalachian area was replaced with Gyotaku (Japanese fish printing).

She has been pursuing some form of printmaking ever since. Her current body of work is lino-cut block relief prints, that she enhances with watercolor. Cat has spent the last 2 decades exhibiting her work at various galleries and outdoor art shows. She is extremely grateful that she gets to make a life playing with color, shape, & movement.
