By now it's probably obvious that I adore my sister, Caitlin Watson. She is the epitome of effortless creativity in dress, art, design and just plain living. She just graduated with a BFA in painting and sent me created her online
portfolio. If you could only see the things her portfolio doesn't show of her childhood work. Oh man, there are some goodies (remember this?). Well, you can imagine my delight when I finally saw this project that she's only described to me in words where she imitated our mom's modeling pictures from when she was a wee lass for a school assignment. I nearly died. Partly because Mom is kind of cheeseball (sorry, mom, it's true non?) which meant that Caitlin is equally cheeseball. The best part about it is that she shot them all herself at her house with a timer.
And you know what? She's now on the hunt for a job or internship and I'm shamelessly putting it out to the blogging universe hoping that some kind soul knows of a good fit for her. She's not partial to a specific place just the right fit for her and her talents (I think NYC would be a good fit personally!). She'd like to focus on installations or textile work or crafts or painting and let me tell you she's good at it all. So, if you're looking or know someone looking for someone oozing with creative goodness, contact her at watson.caitlin@gmail.com and check out her portfolio
here.
This is part 1 of 2 as the next post I'll show some of her pattern work next.
And don't forget Craftenhagen tomorrow night!
