Kath Bertrand Art
About Kath Bertrand
Art statement and Bio...
​
Kath Bertrand is interested in the narrative she creates between her painting and ceramics, exploring a sense of place with landscape and the connection to self. Kath has always been interested in visual arts and completed her Diploma at Tafe in 2019.
​She aims to tell stories about her life, women's stories and surroundings through creative imaginings and journeys about nostalgia, memory and natural places especially where she lives in Moreton Bay with the mangroves and wildflowers, rainforest in the QLD hinterland, and the desert.
​She enjoys creating handmade ceramic forms that feel familiar such as teapots, vases and cups that elicit memories of an earlier era particularly in porcelain.
​Surface decoration is important and will often include landscape,wildflowers, trees, images of girls and older women swimming or with a dog,or singing.
​
Kath belongs to both the Redcliffe Art Society and Redcliffe Pottery Group and has been shortlisted a number of times for their annual shows. She has exhibited extensively both locally and interstate. She also exhibits online with BluethumbArt.
