About the artist:

Kat Parker is an emerging artist based in Shepparton. In 2021, she graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Fine Art, specialising in printmaking. Parker’s practice focuses on the dysfunctional relationship humanity has with nature, with a particular interest in promoting the overlooked aspects of our environment, especially unremarkable animals and extinctions. Her practice aims to encourage an appreciation for, and love of, nature through printmaking and paper art processes. Parker’s artworks have recently been included in the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize at South Australian Museum, Not Your Kitchen Lino at Burrinja Cultural Centre, Fresh 2024 at Shepparton Art Museum and Geelong Art Gallery’s Acquisitive Print Awards.
