Kathleen Rodgers retired in 2015 as an elementary school teacher. A summer course at Haliburton School of Design introduced her to hand-dyed fabrics and art quilts. After exploring traditional quilt blocks for years, Kathleen began creating fibre art designs based on colour, shape, and movement for wall hangings, table runners, and journal covers using her hand-dyed fabrics and batiks. As an artist, she has explored various mediums, taught workshops, and sold her work at studio tours and art shows. Kathleen has supported various organizations and Boards, including the Coldwater Mill, Studio Art Quilters Associates (SAQA), and Arts Society King (ASK). She likes to support artists and artisans by organizing exhibitions and sales opportunities. She is also part of a fibre arts group that creates thematic exhibitions that travel to galleries and museums around Ontario.
