Kathy Edmonston
www.kathyedmonston.com
After a career in advertising and marketing in the high tech publishing business, Kathy found her way back to her childhood love of art. In 2005, she signed up for a class in pastel painting and that was all it took.
Her love of color and desire to work with her hands found a new voice with pastel, a medium that allows enormous expression and versatility with its rich pigments.
Painting increases one’s ability to see; the more you look, the more you see. Every work enables her to see more of this great natural beauty, Cape Cod.

Sea Fever Gear products, which range from Kevlar® wallets and cockpit blankets, to wine totes, spinnaker jackets, sea bags and Nauti-nities™, are crafted from authentic sails, which would have otherwise gone to a landfill. Penny and Pixie Haughwout, the sisters who founded the company, hunt down old sails along their travels, even offering to pick them up or pay for shipping. They then cut the sails, design the gear, and send them off to a small group of sewers located in their home towns on Cape Cod and San Diego, who work out of their houses sewing the sails into gear. Every piece is one of-a-kind and designed to highlight the uniqueness of each sail with batten pockets, stitching, reef points, numbers, tell tails and hardware. All of the gear is super-durable, washable, quick to dry and mildew resistant.
