“Based in Brisbane, Kate Marek is primarily a landscape painter who is constantly inspired by the natural beauty of this country and its flora. Her interest lies in colour: its painterly application and its evocative power. “Smoky Cape” was painted en plein air on Kate’s recent travels along Australia’s Eastern coast. Kate has been a practicing artist for the past 20 years and has won numerous awards. Her work is held in private collections worldwide. “Colourscape”, her first solo exhibition, is currently showing at Wild Canary in Brisbane.”
