BACK

Kate Fitton is an emerging artist exploring the ancient art of shibori. She enjoys a successful career in design + communications and has recently returned to fine art to nurture her own artistic expression. Kate lives beachside on Kaurna land in South Australia. Her inspiration comes from paddle boarding around remote, wild coastlines, mountain calderas and vast estuarine waterways in Australia and around the world.
