Kat’s practice spans the disciplines of painting, assemblage, sculpture and ceramics, often drawing on the form and materiality of found objects and substrates. Embedded in her process is an attempt to distil an emotive state of being or spatial experience to its simplest form.

Kat gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2006 from the National Art School in Sydney, with a major in Ceramics and an unofficial major in drawing, which lay the foundations for her continuing work with encaustic in painting and assemblage. She also studied previously with the late civic sculptor Tom Bass in his Erskineville Sculpture Studio School, and went on to teach both at the Studio and at the Myocum School of Sculpture.

With a foundation in drawing, and in traditional processes in clay and plaster, as well as in ceramic technology, Kat teaches contemporary 3D studies and sculptural ceramics at BSA, and also the Introduction to Visual Arts course.

Kat has held solo and group exhibitions in the Byron School of Art Project Space in Mullumbimby, the Tweed Regional Gallery, ArtState Lismore, Flinders Lane Gallery, and as an invited artist to the International Association of Ceramics 47th Congress in Barcelona in 2016. Part of a group show at Chalk Horse gallery in Sydney in 2019, she will hold a solo show there in 2020.
