Kathleen Potts
Kathleen is a New Zealand born Australian Artist based in Canberra.
With an emphasis on painting and drawing Kathleen has recently returned to the arts and is steadily focused on building her professional practice.
Kathleen holds a Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts from the Whanganui Quay School of the Arts in New Zealand. Having studied painting and printmaking she applies gestural mark-making and bold colour play to construct real and imagined scenes exploring themes of impermanency and memory of place.
Currently working mostly in acrylics and ink, spontaneity and chance are crucial to her process. She enjoys the curiosity and freshness that these mediums and elements bring to her work.
Drawing on the world around her Kathleen investigates how personal narrative is influenced by the subjective memory of place, setting up scenes which invite the imagination of the viewer to step directly into them with the goal of eliciting a personal and emotional response.
