Brisbane-based artist Kate Marek is known primarily for her stunning landscape paintings. Kate’s interest lies in colour: both its painterly application and its evocative power. A practicing artist for the past 20 years, Kate has a background education in visual arts, teaching and animation. She has been the recipient of multiple awards, most recently winning the Facets Fairholme Art Prize (2023) and the open prize at the St Sebastian’s Art Exhibition (2022). She was selected for the National Emerging Art Prize ACB Selects exhibition (2023) and was a finalist in the Revival Art & Design Gallery's Emerging Artist Prize. Kate was short listed in last year’s Lethbridge 20000 and Lethbridge Landscape prizes as well as the Harden Art Prize. Her work is held in private collections throughout Australia.
Kate is also a member of the Monday Painters Artists' Collective. See their Instagram page for details of upcoming shows.
