2014 Artists Series featuring Kathleen Mullaney
The first time
I saw Kathi's creations I was mesmerized by the intricacy of her designs. In
spite of the uncertainty life as an artist brings, she has followed her dreams
and brings beauty into the lives of many through her artistry. Specializing in
couture pillows, custom slipcovers, and bespoke lampshades, she magically transforms fabulous fabrics, tassels and trims into works of art.
Even as a
child Kathi designed and sewed her own clothing. She is always on the quest for
unique textiles, working with everything from silks and satins, to velvet and
mohair. Finding a special piece by Scalamandre, Fortuny, Chelsea or Rose Tarlow is
always a thrill. Kathi’s attention to the smallest details and her custom
embroidery truly make a project sing.
I have always
believed that art and artful accessories bring a home’s décor up to a higher
level of beauty. Kathi can be one of the artists to create this atmosphere for
you. You can reach her at 206-721-0137, Kathleen's Facebook page, or email her at kathleen.mullaney@comcast.net
Please enjoy this selection of Kathleen's equisite and artful work!
