ARTIST BIO

Since a small child I have always loved the natural world and would often get lost in my daydreams whilst playing in the hills or at the beach with my beloved grandmothers who instilled a great love of colour, poetry and the Arts. 

The ‘Flora and Fauna Australiana natives series’ is a vibrant representation of the environment and bird species including found gems I have collected along my journey.

The main inspirations stem directly from purely Australian organic forms, endangered , extinct wildlife species and in particular birds. 

Through artistic conventions that include colour contrasts, metalic and fluorescent light sources, these natural narratives illuminate from the plywood surface which the paint is splashed upon. Katie works between her Mitcham studio with her art business Katie Sandison Fine Art: running Kids Art Adelaide art school, curating art exhibitions, creating and selling art products, teaching art workshops in her studio, for art schools and galleries.

‘To capture the essence of beautiful forms within the natural world macro or micro, in order to engage and inspire an audience is a wonderful thing for an artist to give to the world.’  

Katie attended North Adelaide School of Art at the age of 16 and continued on to receive a Bachelor of Visual Art and A Bachelor of Education Post graduate in Secondary Visual Art and Design in 1999. She taught Visual Art in schools for 23yrs and now teaches private and paints fulltime.

She has exhibited extensively throughout South Australia and Australia having participated in Visual Art festivals over the past 30 years.
