ABout Cait and Lin

Cait Maltbie is an emerging interdisciplinary artist born and raised in Madison, Kansas. They received a BFA in Printmaking from Emporia State University before pursuing an MFA from East Tennessee State University. They currently reside in Lawrence, Kansas, with their cat and better half, Lin. Through printmaking, zines, textiles, and sculptural work, they reflect on their ‘big feelings’. In making this work, Maltbie hopes to create a space of acceptance for others who struggle with being ‘too emotional’ in a society that forces us to repress so much of ourselves. Their work centers critters of this world and creatures of others in vibrant colors, placing them in situations that range from simple and humorous to complex and introspective about feeling, gender, and childhood.

Cait and Lin zines are currently stocked at The Generalist in Johnson City, Tennessee, as well as Wonder Fair and The Raven Bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas! Please reach out with any inquiries.
