- Born and Raised on Cape Cod Massachusetts, Kate Greenhalgh's textiles are inspired by the beauty of her home. Many of Kate's creations spring from nature. Kate has also traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Mexico and the Carribbean, recording her memories in sketchbooks that she uses as inspiration for her designs. These themes are seen as a thread throughout all of her art. Kate works in various textures and types of silk, including chiffon, crepe de chine, habotai, and the newer devore satins. She also paints her designs on velvet, both devore and solid. Each piece is unique and painted freehand using special silk dyes. Her soft and tranquil colors, as well as textures are evocative of the ocean. Painting on fabric since the age of 13, Kate studied textile design at the Rhode Island School of Design ande worked for the fashion industry in California before starting her own business. Kate started LEAVE IT TO WEAVER in 1993 as a weaver and silk painter. She is also a certified art teacher and taught at the Cape Museum of Fine Arts. Kate won the Merit Award from the Buyers Market of American Craft in 1999 when she started wholesaling her scarves.
