Catelyn Mailloux

Cat Mailloux, MFA

Assistant Professor of Studio Art

Cat Mailloux was born and raised in the heart of the midwest, central Minnesota. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a B.F.A. in Sculpture and a Certificate in Art Education in 2014. In 2018, she earned her M.F.A. in Sculpture from The Ohio State University. Her work has been exhibited at a regional level throughout central Ohio and at a national level in Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York and Tennessee. In 2019 she participated as a Writer-in-Residence at Vermont Studio Center and as a Print Fellow at the Columbus Printed Arts Center. Her visual work is a hybrid practice that reaches across drawing, sewing, sculpture and language to explore spaces between the material and the spiritual.

Interests:

Having grown up in Minnesota, the "land of 10,000 lakes", I love spending time on the water. I also come from a big family and treasure sitting in the backyard with my mother, siblings, and nieces.I have an affinity for sewing and weaving, and run a community sewing class in my neighborhood at the local recreation center.

Expert Topics

Contemporary art and sculpture, intersections of art and faith.

Why Cedarville?

It has been a longstanding desire to work at the intersection of art and faith. Joining Cedarville as a faculty member in studio art is an answer to that prayer. For me, art making is akin to breathing and Christianity is my mother-tongue. It is a privilege to be able to serve in an institution that upholds individuals as image bearers and creators, in a context that seeks to integrate faith into every aspect of daily life.
