Sydneysiders

Finalist art work in the North Sydney Winter Art Prize 2026

In Australia, the ocean isn’t just a view; it’s the backdrop to our lives. I’ve always been fascinated by how the outdoorsiness of Sydney defines us, drawing crowds to the coast every single weekend.

​At first glance, this acrylic piece is just a landscape. But if you lean in, you’ll find the real story - the tiny scenes of daily life, the meditative moments, and the vibrant energy of the beach. Can you spot the little details?

Australian Artist | Acrylic & Watercolour Portraiture
Welcome to my studio! I’m Kat S, an artist based in Sydney.

My creative journey is a constant evolution of technique—a series of bold explorations in acrylics and watercolour where I lean into the "happy accidents" that happen along the way. While I love experimenting with different materials, my focus remains firmly on people and living beings.

Whether you're looking for an original piece or a high-quality print to bring warmth and story into your home, thank you so much for supporting independent art.
