Members / Kym Monaghan-Morton

Kym has an undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in Seattle and a Diploma in Textile Design from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. Kym lived and worked in Japan for four years and, during that time, travelled extensively throughout Asia, immersing herself in Asian culture, which inspired an interest in, and affinity for, textiles and surface design. She is currently working on surface designs for printed fabric, as well as creating blankets with wool and silk. Kym’s artistic awards include the Dirk Lokhorst Award, the Association of Textile Mill Representatives Excellence in Design Scholarship, and the Filosa Award (2007). Her textile work has been featured at the Interior Design Show/IDS 09 as part of DESIGNGENNEXT, which features the work of Sheridan College Crafts and Design students, and at the Textile Museum of Toronto (2008). She lives in Toronto with her husband and three young children.
