Her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Arts Management degrees from RMIT University were both awarded with honours. Her practice includes public art (murals and Installation), painting, design, and music.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Katherine’s creative expression explores the mutual flourishing between worlds: diverse cultural perspectives, past and present, and the inner and outer spiritual realms. Her dream-like compositions celebrate resilience and liberation, echoing the urgent need to restore the invisible fabric that weaves together humans and nature. Her work challenges social structures and reclaims the space for diverse cultural expression and women at the forefront of social change.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Deeply rooted in her cultural heritage and the magical realism movement she was immersed in during her upbringing, her work is also shaped by Latin America\u2019s rich iconography, symbols, and aesthetics. Rediscovering a sense of the sacred and revisiting our ancient past embody the driving force for the development of her artworks.<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”25″][vc_column_text responsive_align=”left”]\n
