Cathy Jacobs
Artist Bio
Cathy Jacobs has a deep background in painting and color. She began using her first set of oil paints at age seven. She later went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from Wayne State University in Detroit. In April 2015, she received a Master of Fine Arts degree at Eastern Michigan University where she began weaving. Her airy, atmospheric paintings gave way to transparent and ethereal textile works. She has exhibited artwork in the United States and Canada, most notably at SOFA Expo in Chicago, the World of Threads Festival in Ontario, the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York City, and at State of the Arts Gallery in Sarasota, Florida. She lives with her husband, Leonardo, in Ann Arbor and has a studio in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
