2019 will be my 7th year in the business of art, and I’m starting it off by taking a month to travel in Argentina. My friend and studio assistant Molly Sharp will be traveling with me, and we will go from Buenos Aires to Mendoza to Tupungato to Bariloche to Patagonia, with many points in between.

I will post photos on social media as wifi is available, but my priority for this trip is to experience and immerse in a different culture, unplug from my various electronic devices, draw and design and think about where I want to focus my art in the coming months and years.

El Chaltén will be our last stop before returning to RVA

Road trip 2018 to Indianapolis with my good friend Molly! Of course, we will get a chance to visit with daughter Rachel and sample lots of the Indy vibe, and look forward to making new friends at the show. I'm in my same space, booth 15 on Talbot Street. Hope to see you there!

A Butterfly’s Journey

The butterfly is a rich symbol for change, diversity, and interdependence. Explore this walking meditation as part of your journey with nature in the wattle-woven copper and sapling walls of the Butterfly’s Journey. Declare (and write) an intention and weave it into the walls as you open to this new experience. 

Arbor Quilt

Like quilting, gardening is often a piece by piece endeavor. We stitch together plants that have meaning for us, shared from a friend’s garden or collected from a plant sale, to wrap our homes in the beauty of nature. 

Arbor Quilt is an example of piecework in a garden setting. Using the Log Cabin quilt pattern, we will stitch together a vertical tapestry of plants and mosses in the main arbor walkway. 

About the Artist

These two installations are created by Richmond copper artisan Cathy G. Vaughn. Vaughn is a full-time artist and copper wrangler at her studio, Tracery 157, in Richmond, VA. An avid tinkerer, Vaughn taught herself the basics of working copper over two decades ago, and has been pushing the boundaries to reimagine and repurpose industrial-grade copper ever since.
A native of rural South Carolina, she learned the makers' ethic in her fathers’ workshop. Vaughn has a BFA in graphic design from the University of South Carolina, is active in craft guilds from North Carolina to Pennsylvania, and is passionate about the intersection of science, art, and design.
