Katie Stackhouse's meditative prints invest the fresh mark of the hand with an inquiring gentleness into the natural world, often referencing botanical and figurative imagery as a metaphorical pivot. Opulent inks of ochres and reds resonate with eloquent and organic lines to produce a sensual surface. Strong yet delicate, these works successfully achieve a calmness and quiet harmony within the internal landscape of the print.
Born in Tasmania in 1978 Katie Stackhouse completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Hobart between 1996-1999.
