Katherine currently lives in Whanganui where she has a fabulous riverside studio. She attended art school some years back and achieved a Master’s Degree in Fine Art majoring in Painting from Canterbury University. Since then she has spent her time juggling motherhood, teaching, developing a studio practice and making a living doing odd jobs here and there. She has been included in exhibitions throughout the country, Australia and Germany and has won a few awards. Her work is held in both private and public collections.

 

Katherine has become known for her hand stitched artwork where she uses a sewing needle as a drawing tool and thread as a medium to create intricately constructed stitched drawings. Her work is informed by geometry, optical illusion and her love of science fiction.
