Kathy Tidswell is an artist, and a teacher of fibre arts.
After working as a biologist for a number of years, Kathy changed careers. She took courses from a number of Canadian, American and British quilt artists and machine embroidery specialists, and took drawing, watercolour and oil painting lessons.
From these she developed her own methods of painting on fabric and using free motion machine embroidery to produce thread painted works of art.
Her work has been published both nationally and internationally and resides across Canada, throughout the United States, in the United Kingdom and as far away as Singapore.
