Other (Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts Practice , 2019)

“For over thirty years I have been making art about the beauty and mystery of the natural world with an aim to connect viewers to an emotive and sensual contemplation of nature and our place within it. Since the 2019/20 Black Summer fires, which decimated my region on the eastern seaboard of Australia, I have been compelled to make art, often with fire itself, to raise awareness about climate change and the ecological perils facing the planet. More recently, I have been exploring the artistic possibilities of digital media and photography to inspire an appreciation for the preciousness of life on Earth and maybe arouse the urge to protect it.’

Katherine Boland lives and works on the south east coast of Australia. 

In 2020, she was selected to participate in OUTPUT- Art After Fire - a pilot project funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through their Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program which supported artists in southeast Australia and the American west to create artwork about their bushfire experiences. Her climate change-related artwork has featured in a number of international art exhibitions, including the Art Speaks Out exhibition at the 2022 United Nations Climate Conference in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt.
 
Katherine has exhibited extensively throughout Australia and internationally and has been the recipient of numerous art prizes and grants, including the Heysen Art Prize for Interpretation of Place in 2009. Her work is held in corporate, public and private collections in Australia, Europe, Asia and the USA and her memoir, Hippy Days, Arabian Nights, was published by Australian publisher, Wild Dingo Press in 2017. Katherine holds a Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts from the Melbourne Institute of Experiential and Creative Art Therapies (MIECAT).
