Kate Owen, Fanfare, 2026
Acrylic and oil stick on canvas over board, 80x70cm framed
Kate Owen is an abstract artist with a passion for colour. Painting full time from her home studio, a creative oasis with expansive views of undulating country on their farming property in Northern NSW Australia. From an actively creative childhood through to fashion design after school and many subsequent professions, a common thread of colour and design is evident throughout. Kate took up painting full time in 2017 and was invited to join Greenhouse Interiors in 2019 which helped shape her career. She has had several solo exhibitions and group shows. Kate is now represented by Wentworth Galleries in Sydney and Brisbane and her pieces are widely collected and enjoyed in many homes across Australia and abroad.
My studio is a creative oasis surrounded by wide stretches of farmland, offering the physical and mental clarity that is essential to my practice. Within this quiet landscape, painting is an outlet that requires no words - a way of returning to myself.
I create abstract interpretations of organic forms sometimes resembling florals or landscapes through I am not bound by representation. My process begins with observation and absorption; a subconscious gathering of things that spark joy within heart and mind. While I sometimes sketch to explore ideas, I often prefer to let the work develop intuitively on the canvas, allowing each piece to discover its own rhythm and essence fuelled by the impulses of my stored visual impressions or even more simply the delight in one mark laid down in harmony or contrast with the next.
Working on a large scale or on multiple pieces at once keeps my gestures loose and expressive, preserving the physical joy of making. I use acrylic paint mixed with mediums to build layers of opacity and transparency, sometimes adding layers of oil paint and playing with oil sticks to introduce rich, luminous colour and reveal the beauty inherent in the mark itself.
Colour is central to my practice. I use it to heighten emotional resonance for myself and the viewer. Through each work, I hope to evoke the playful curiosity of childhood - a space where wonder, spontaneity and creativity are abundant.
