Katherine Warburton is an emerging Australian Artist based rurally in Gordon, Victoria. Winner of the Grand Prize in Trenthams Art Exhibition in 2017. Katherine is a member of the Woodend Art Group, is a regular in the regional art scene, Artist-in-Residence at MicKat Studio and selected works can also be found at The Little Gallery, Trentham. Her works are held in private collections in Australia, America and Singapore.
I have Autism, a condition that I struggle with everyday. Although I have sensory issues, it is perhaps this unique way of experiencing the world that influences my work the most. Art has had such a positive impact on my life. It has enabled me to make friends, become a part of a community and to gain confidence in myself. My local art community is a very supportive and accepting one.
In 2012, my husband and I left the bustling city for a slow paced life on his late Grandfather's farm in the country town of Gordon. Where we set up a small studio which backs onto the Wombat Forest. Roos , wombats and native birds visit my studio and provide endless inspiration for my art. I hope to create art that makes people happy, so here I sit, paintbrush in hand, dreaming about what I'll paint next
