Kath Bertrand Visual Artist

Kath Bertrand is a painter and ceramic artist. She  completed her Diploma in Visual Arts at Tafe Queensland in Brisbane in 2019. She lives in Moreton Bay Queensland and enjoys making in her small studio by the sea.

Kath has always been interested in painting particularly watercolour, and has always been a keen maker. She was encouraged to paint by her grandmother on painting trips in the Blue Mountains and around Mosman Bay. She lived in a house of colour growing up where her mother loved to create interesting interiors. 

After working as a social worker, Kath studied visual arts at Brisbane Tafe Southbank.

She lives in Moreton Bay outside Brisbane, and has been developing her skills in painting, and ceramics.

Kath is a current member of both the Redcliffe Art Society and the Redcliffe Pottery Group. Kath has been selected as a finalist a number of times for the RAS Exhibition of Excellence being 3rd overall  in 2015, and was first in 2020 for the RAS members show and commended in 2023. She was also a co-winner for a Shakespeare inspired teapot in the Sydney Teapot Show and has ceramic work retained by the Museum of Brisbane. She regularly exhibits with both groups. Her work can also be found on Bluethumb,  as well as the Gatakers Artspace in Maryborough and the Old Redcliffe Fire Station Gallery shop.
