Kate Mulheron – Silver Linings

Kate Mulheron is a Sydney based artist. Working predominantly in oils, she creates paintings of seascapes and cloudscapes. The body of work created for Silver Linings reflects her personal experiences of the coastal landscape, the vastness of the ocean and sky. 

The works are a meditation and a reflection on the delicate tension between calm and turbulence. The cloudscapes, seascapes and vignettes serve as metaphors for the human experience, echoing our own internal struggles and the eventual calm which always follows a storm.

The artist’s intention is to reflect upon intimate and yet universal experiences of nature through a contemporary exploration of the sublime. An ongoing interest in her work has been in drawing out the extraordinary in everyday moments.

Kate Mulheron obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours, majoring in Printmedia, in 2005. She completed a Bachelor of Secondary Teaching in Visual Arts at the University of Technology Sydney in 2007 and graduated from Sydney College of the Arts with a Master of Fine Arts in 2012. She completed part of her post-graduate degree while on exchange at the Universität der Künste, Berlin. 

Kate has exhibited locally and internationally in group and solo exhibitions and been commended and shortlisted for multiple art prizes, and was recently awarded first place in Randwick City Council’s International Women’s Day Art Prize. Her works are in public and private collections including the City of Sydney Civic Collection.
