Kath Bertrand is a painter and ceramic artist living in Moreton Bay Queensland .
As a child she grew up in Sydney, and was influenced by family and friends and their involvement and interest in the arts. Kath has always engaged in artistic endeavours throughout her working life as a social worker. She was always painting in watercolour, and now living in Brisbane, has a small studio by the sea . Kath completed her Diploma in Visual Arts at Tafe Queensland in 2019, developing her skills in painting, ceramics, drawing and printmaking. Kath is particularly drawn to the local coastal landscape where she lives with the wildflowers, mangroves and the eucalypts and paperbarks featuring in her work. She also paints from time spent in the Queensland hinterland and the central Australian desert.
Kath is a current member of both the Redcliffe Art Society and the Redcliffe Pottery Group. She regularly exhibits with both groups being a finalist and a winner in 2020 in the RAS members show. A highlight has having ceramic work retained by the Museum of Brisbane and a winner with the Sydney Teapot Show. She sells her work both locally and interstate and can be found at The Old Redcliffe Fire Station Shop Space and Gatakers Artspace in Maryborough QLD.
