Since completing a Bachelor of Applied Arts at the South Australian School of Art – UniSA, Kath has worked from a number of studios including Gray Street Workshop, and completed a two year Design Associateship with the JamFactory Metal Design Studio. Kath has exhibited her jewellery and objects extensively throughout Australia and overseas.

Kath’s signature work is jewellery hand carved patterns in coloured PVC. She also uses a variety of other materials such as precious metals, lawn bowls, resin and paint.

Kath has worked in collaboration on large scale projects and sculptural work such as the ‘Dandelion Garden’ at the Lyell McEwin Hospital entrance.

In 2007, Kath collaborated with Naomi Schwartz on a public art project to create ‘jewellery’ for the Amazon Waterlily Pavilion in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The building is now adorned with opulent gems featuring large pink glass doorknobs and wall brooches.
