Inspiration
Kathy makes work in several mediums around a central motif or theme. This central motif is usually either the suburban landscape we live and work in or the wider Australian landscape and the often-troubled relationship between the two. Kathy's paintings, ceramics and lino-prints are a personal response to these environments through the use of colour, line, movement and surface.
Areas of Expertise
Kathy works across several mediums including painting, printmaking and ceramics. She also makes artist books.
