Photography is a vehicle for communication and connection.
Kate earned a Diploma in Creative Photography and trained with professionals, concentrating on still photography. She has worked as a professional photographer since 2016, more recently focusing on Theatre and Indigenous Events.
Visual art and crafting didn’t become a part of her art practice until they began attending OCAD University. They found an opportunity to become reacquainted with traditional mediums and explore new spaces. Out of this ongoing exploration has come a love of printmaking.
Movement is marked throughout their work but her photography and linocut prints have a visible contrast. Kate leans into a lot of colour in her photos, noting how people move through the light. Her linocut pieces explore simple contrast, a communication of space without colour.
Hailing from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Kate spent a decade working and studying in Tkaronto before moving homeward. Continuing both her studies and art practice in Southwestern Ontario.
