Katie has just finished ‘Visible Me’ a collaboration with Feros Care she pitched to them to help seniors feel seen and heard by interviewing them and writing up snippets of their life story as well as taking artistic photographs of them. Whilst writing consumes a great part of Katie’s mind, art consumes the rest. If she is not crafting, she is sketching numerous sculpture ideas and trying to find ways to bring living art to the Gold Coast. She won the Emerging Artist award at the 2016 Swell Sculpture Festival for her two oversize deckchairs; and in 2020 wrote and performed an emotional and intimate theatre piece with a group she coached on the subject of authenticity for the Placemakers team. Her decadent food centric still-life photographs were finalists in a British competition in 2020 and internationally published in a printed magazine. In 2021 her naively sewn cyanotype gown, ‘Slowly Fading, Abundance’ was a finalist at the Hornsby Art Show in Sydney. Katie spent several years in London apprenticing to a Haute Couture milliner making stunning head pieces.

Bringing people together to create shared meaning drives much of Katie’s creations. She believes in making the world a more colourful and happier place and is constantly looking for ways to brighten her little corner of the globe.
