I'm Kate Fernandes, a Sydney-based artist specialising in vibrant still life, floral, and children's artworks. As a professional painter, educator, and mother of two, I create pieces that add warmth, joy, and lightness to any space. My art is designed to bring a sense of happiness and personality to your home or office, whether through cheerful florals or whimsical still lifes.

Art has always been my passion. From a young age, I was captivated by painting and drawing, which led me to be pre-selected for Art Express, a pivotal moment that set me on my artistic path. I pursued Fine Arts and Education at the University of Newcastle, where I honed my skills as an illustrator and had the opportunity to showcase my work at Watt Space Gallery. I also furthered my creative expertise with studies in Illustration and Drawing at the Open College of Art and Design.

Over the years, my work has been featured in publications such as Artist Closeup Magazine and The Torch, and I’ve been a finalist in the Revival Emerging Artist Art Prize. I've also had the privilege of showcasing my art at The Hanoi Shuffle in Rozelle, as well as in exhibitions like the Breakfast Point and Drummoyne Art Shows.

My inspiration comes from the beauty of the natural world, with a particular love for painting florals, still lifes, and animals. Painting is a joyful and fulfilling experience for me, and I aim for the happiness I feel while creating my work to shine through, infusing each piece with light and positivity.
