Kathryn Walter

Kathryn Walter has maintained a studio practice since 1989, beginning in Vancouver where her critique of the city’s rampant development was influenced by text-based art of the time. She then lived in Montréal where she completed an MFA and returned to her hometown Toronto in the mid-90s. In 2000 she founded FELT, a company inspired by her family’s history in the felt industry, and has since worked with manufactured felts, focusing on interior installations, collaborating with architects and interior designers across North America. In 2019, she received the Allied Arts Medal awarded by the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (RAIC).
