Kate Lawrence

I am an artist and a gardener who designs websites and business art for people.

I also have 5 gorgeous little children (1 boy -6 and twin girls – 4) as well as 2 teen-rage step-daughters, an amazingly supportive partner (Stingray) who is my house-husband and 3 cats and a dog and chickens

We live in on the Sunshine Coast next to the well known holiday destination “Bribie Island”.

The environment is picturesque and Stingray and I enjoy photographing the surrounds and its climate (primarily storms) a lot.

My fav mediums are photography, acrylics, clay and mosaic tesserae however during the past few years my creativity was stifled somewhat by toddlers and safety! Tiles and glue don’t go so well with babies!

I was given my first Ricoh camera at 5 and had my own darkroom by the age of 8 so I have been around the medium for a while.

Digital has revolutionised my life and view and means I have the luxury of shooting when and where ever I like without the expense of developing.

After damage to my everyday camera the Eos 10D I was fortunate enough to have it replaced with an Eos 60D and the 100-300 lens was also damaged so we now also have a 120mm – 400mm Sigma lens as well.

I hope the equipment upgrade will be reflected in the quality of my work!
