Felted fish sculpture on arbutus wood base. Measures approximately 33 wide by 35 cm high (13 by 13 inches).

Debbie Katz has been a felt maker since 2008 when she retired to Pender Island from teaching at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. She exhibits her work at several art galleries in the Gulf Islands and Lower Mainland of BC. As a member of the Canadian felting organization felt::feutre, Debbie has had many opportunities to study with world class felting teachers, and she has entered her work in several juried art shows each year since 2012. Most recently she was awarded a Juror’s Choice Award for her piece Concealment in the Sidney Fine Arts Show in 2019. For Debbie, it is both affirming and exciting to create felted artwork that is both functional and beautiful.
