About My Art Practice

Over the past two years, my art practice has evolved from creating practical items to experimenting with wall art that reflects my emotional response to the natural environment. My aim is to offer the viewer thought-provoking pieces that always have more to reveal. Visit my store to view current art works that are available for purchase.

As my work has developed, I’ve expanded my materials and techniques, incorporating mixed media such as textiles, fibre, paper, found objects, feathers, as well as embroidery and beads. This allows me to create a dynamic range of textures and visual effects.

As a felt maker, I dye my own wool, yarn, and silk, and experiment with various methods to build texture. I spin, weave, knit, mould, shape, burn, tear, and use a wide variety of fibres—merino wool, alpaca, silk, jute, and recycled materials—all of which I wet felt, needle felt, dye, and spin to create unique works of art.

My pieces have been featured in galleries throughout the Wide Bay and Gympie regions, including:

  • Here and Now (Bundaberg Art Space, 2023, 2024 & 2025)
  • Du Reitz Art Award (Gympie Regional Gallery)
  • David Bryce Art Award (Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery)
  • Gatekers Art Space

I’ve also received recognition through awards at Moore Park Art and the David Bryce Exhibitions.

My art is available for purchase through the store page on this website, or you can contact me for more information.

In addition to wall art, my portfolio extends to garments and sculptural pieces. I seek to capture the essence of the wearer in my garments, as one of my clients described:
“So pleased with the gorgeous, beautifully soft scarf I commissioned Kate to create as a special gift for a friend. She takes into account the recipient’s personality, hobbies, lifestyle, etc., when creating the particular colour palette, resulting in a truly individual and wearable piece of art.”

If you’re looking for a special gift or a custom piece, please feel free to contact me to discuss a commission that embodies the essence of the wearer.
