Art with Heart

joyfully unserious but always heartfelt

Meet Katie

I’m a painter based in both Alexandra, Central Otago and in Auckland, New Zealand.

I’ve been called quirky all my life and it’s this characteristic, in addition to my desire to connect, that fuels my art practice. I paint with colour and humour and emotion about my sense of place.
