About the Art
This piece focuses on storytelling as wearable art. Let's have a look at this piece and explore what each motif means:
Medium: Mixed Media: Watercolours and Gouache Caran d’ache, Charvin Arts and Windsor and Newton paint, Micron Pens on watercolour paper.
This piece features on personal aspects of Kathy's life translated into symbols.
- Doves representing peace
- Vintage jewellery and sunglasses for sustainability and circularity
- Foraging for mushrooms with her children in the forest
- Teal blue as a nod to her love of the ocean
- Butterflies for change and growth
- Flowers represent women, from peaceful resistance and a form of feminism
- The handbag is a feminist reclamation of the purse as women tend to hold ‘things’ -- everyone’s hopes, dreams, snacks -- everything.
- Celestial elements remind us to live a purpose and values-driven life, to make a difference and a positive impact on both humans and planet
- Books are for learning, for challenging our preconceived notions, and for keeping an open mind to new ideas

Kathy has also transformed her artwork into sustainably printed silk and into a wearable collection. The first piece of wearable art was hand sewn by Felicity Westmacott, below.
Our capsule collection is also based upon this painting, below.
