Deb Cashatt is a full-time studio artist whose primary medium is the art quilt. During the Coronavirus shutdown, she began creating pieced quilts based on wonky graphic symbols. The rectilinear Greek key—long one of her favorite patterns—became a key element in this work. As she combined Greek keys with other pieced blocks on her design wall, recognizable objects began to emerge. Blending the words “graphic” and “symbol,” she coined the term “symbographic.” These symbographs have become a visual language through which she tells stories in cloth.
Although based in the Gold Country of Northern California, Cashatt is an enthusiastic traveler. She jokes that she is fortunate to have friends who move to exotic places just so she can visit them. Memories from her travels, along with objects from everyday life, frequently appear in her artwork.
In addition to her solo practice, Cashatt spent 20 years as one half of the fiber art duo Pixeladies. Both the Pixeladies’ work and her solo artwork have been published and juried into national and international exhibitions. You can see Deb’s work on her website. She posts  work in progress on Instagram.  Deb thinks the world would be a better place if people wore boas and drove colorful cars with fins.
