Guest Curator Kasturi Wren

Kasturi Wren is the owner and creative brains behind the beautiful Instagram account (and brand) @wrenandwhippet. I can’t remember how or when I came across Kasturi’s account but I was instantly hooked on the beautiful imagery, styling and story telling. Go immediately and check it out, you won’t regret it! Kasturi was high on my hit list of Guest Curators, she has a strong aesthetic and a passion for art. Kas has also just launched an artist residency program detailed below….

In 2017, Kasturi Wren decided to leave a corporate life as Lawyer and start her own legal practice while designing and building her first project home in Leura, Blue Mountains. With a love for arts and culture, she began to engage with local artists before launching Wren & Whippet - a brand that has developed over the years to become a platform with a growing audience where she can share her own writing, interior designs and photography while collaborating with artists and designers.

In 2023, Kasturi launched The Artist Residency program at her home in Coolah, NSW. The residency is open to all artists who want to spend a period of 4-7 days in a rural country town where they will have access to the beautiful Coolah Tops and idyllic surrounds as well as be inspired by country home interiors. The residency shall also provide the artist an opportunity to be open to a new audience through a collaborative process of social media promotion on the Wren & Whippet instagram platform during the residency. At present, there are no residency vacancies open until April 2024. All applications are welcome to be sent via direct message on the Wren & Whippet Instagram account.
