Kathy is a contemporary Flax Weaver who is basically Autodidactic (self taught). She enjoys transforming raw fibres into intricate woven forms such as Bodices and Queen Palm Pods which are her signature pieces. Her Baskets,Birdnests and Kupenga Ketes come second.

She has exhibited for NZ in Jaipur in India for the Rodney Artists and Floral Society which was held in 2020. Also Kathy has held Flax workshops in NZ and Italy.

Her Queen Palm Pods are sculptural forms that echo Seed Vessels and natural growth patterns. The flax is shaped and woven to highlight both its strength and delicacy, creating works that feel at once grounded and ethereal.

She hopes that viewers and collectors alike will find genuine enjoyment in her work, bringing a natural presence into their space.

Kathy lives and works in Sandspit where she continues to expand the possibilities of Flax in contemporary fibre art.
