Having been trained in ceramic art and lead lighting in the 80's,
at Chisholm Institute in Melbourne, Kathryn majored in flat glass
and acquired a love of strong colour placement and segmentation.
Kathryn spent three years working in two studios in Boston USA,
designing and manufacturing stained glass and sandblasted art
for commercial venues and custom designs for private residences.
Upon return home to Australia, she designed and built her own
mudbrick house in the peaceful Central Victorian countryside,
filling it with three healthy sons in a happy creative rural retreat.
It was the perfect environment in which to experiment and trial
many different mosaicing techniques, which lead to retail sales,
public and private commissions, awards, workshops and exhibitions.

Kathryn is an active member of the Mosaic Association of Aus and
New Zealand (MAANZ), with duties of Victorian Representative,
and the National MAANZ Newsletter Editor for the 500 members.
Member of the Association of Sculptors of Victoria (ASV).
Member of the Australian Decorative & Fine Arts Society (ADFAS).
