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. especially by her grandmother who painted in her studio overlooking Mosman Bay.
Kath has always engaged in artistic endeavours throughout her working life as a social worker. She was always painting in watercolour, and living in Moreton Bay QLD has a small studio by the sea . Kath completed her Diploma in Visual Arts at Tafe Queensland in 2019 where she discovered her love of more contemporary landscape painting and ceramics. Kath is particularly drawn to the local coastal landscape where she lives with the wildflowers, her own tropical garden, mangroves and the eucalypts and paperbarks featuring in her work. She is interested in how we interact with landscape both outside and in, through memory grief and finding solace. She also likes to tell women’s stories in her work and to not be invisible. Kath’s art practice continues to focus on watercolour, more colourful acrylic art and hand built ceramics, and how working in each medium influences her overall art practice.

She regularly exhibits and has been shortlisted with both groups, and was overall winner in 2020 with the Art Society. Members Exhibition.
