Katherine Boland lives in Merimbula on the south east coast of Australia.
In 2020, Katherine was selected to participate in OUTPUT: Art After Fire - an international pilot project, funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through their Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program, which supported artists in southeast Australia and the American west to create artwork about their bushfire experiences. Katherine's climate change-related work has featured in numerous international art exhibitions, including the DigitalArt4Climate Art Award at the 2021 United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow, Scotland and the Art Speaks Out Exhibition at the 2022 United Nations Climate Conference in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt. In October 2023 the Australian Prime Minister gifted Katherine's work, Fire Flower No 8, made with fire itself, to President Biden at The White House on his official visit to Washington.
Katherine has been the recipient of several prestigious Australian art prizes, including the 2023 National Capital Art Prize (Sustainability Category) and the 2023 Burrinja Climate Change Biennale Art Award. Her work is held in corporate, public and private collections in Australia, Europe, Asia and the USA and her memoir, Hippy Days, Arabian Nights, was published by Australian publisher, Wild Dingo Press in 2017. Katherine holds a Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts Practice from the Melbourne Institute of Experiential and Creative Art Therapies (MIECAT).
