Painting is like a spiritual practice…

A connection to something greater than the self, a tapping into a deep well of innate wisdom, trusting the process & allowing a message or insight to be revealed.

Since childhood creating has been Katey’s language. This led her through art school in New Zealand and later into the study of Transpersonal Art Therapy in Australia. Katey soon understood the healing power of art and the unconscious and went on to help clients on their healing journey, while diving deeper into a channeling process in her own art, and became the heart of her practice.

Katey’s mission is to help people connect with themselves on a deeper level. Through painting and collage she offers more than images, she creates portals of insight, healing and reflection. Her work encourages a relationship with both the natural and the metaphysical, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own inner wisdom.

What makes Katey’s art distinctive is its Jungian approach, rooted in symbolism, archetypes and the language of the unconscious. She trusts the process of allowing the logical mind to fall away and through his energy, faces, animals and forms emerge within colourful flow and movement. Each piece becomes a metaphor, a mirror, a guide, a story waiting to be felt as much as seen.

Alongside her original artworks, Katey also creates commissions that are uniquely attuned to the individual. These pieces are channeled with the same intuitive process, becoming soulful reflections of personal journeys, offering meaning and resonance that belong only to them.

Her art speaks to those who value well-being, self-discovery and spirituality and anyone drawn to the transformative power of art. For Katey, this is not just about making something beautiful to look at. It’s about creating art as a living dialogue between image and spirit, between the viewer and themselves.

  • While obtaining a qualification (adv dip) in Transpersonal Art Therapy in Perth Katey’s perspective with her own creativity changed, and transformed not only the way she painted but the way she began to see herself and the world on a much deeper level. She began painting intuitively, within a holistic approach of engaging body, mind, soul and spirit from a sacred space, of being present with a non judgmental awareness. “For me it is part of a spiritual practice, a connection to something greater than the self, a tapping into a deep well of innate wisdom, trusting the process & allowing a message or insight to be revealed.” Katey’s art making in this way provides a sense of freedom, flow & curiosity as to what may come through in the process & offers a gift, a message or energy of self empowerment or pathway towards healing.

  • It is clear Katey has a love for colour! There is a sense of freedom and play within her artworks, with a vibrant & contrasting colour palette which tends to move with an energy of flow throughout each piece. Nature & walks in the bush land inspires & grounds this artist, reminding her of “the connection humans have to the natural world & the wise teachings it offers, if we simply make the time and space for it.” Both a Shamanic and Jungian vein and approach run through Katey’s art often presenting animals, archetypes, goddesses and the like, depicting a kind of soul language through metaphor and symbology offering meaning and guidance for the viewer. Throughout her years of art making combined with studies in personal and spiritual development Katey has discovered her art practice principles can also be translated into everyday life creating a more balanced, and joyful way of being.

  • “The knowing my art is speaking at a soul level, with healing and inspiration allows my heart to sing and makes the whole creative process so deeply meaningful.”

  • Katey has exhibited in New Zealand and Australia with artworks in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, England, Canada and America.

  • “My Dream is to keep Creating! Living the Life I Love to Look at and Courageously Opening my Heart and Mind to the Limitless Possibilities that are waiting to be Discovered. To Inspire Others to Also Dream…to Plant the Seed of Self Inquiry and Curiosity Toward a Journey of Expansion and a Wider Perspective.”

 “Being in nature clears the mind & speaks to the soul. It is both grounding & invigorating with an inspiration to be creative.”

“The knowing my art is speaking at a soul level, with healing and inspiration allows my heart to sing and makes the whole creative process so deeply meaningful.”
