Remnants of the past

Kate Douglas is an Ipswich-based artist whose paintings describe the local built and natural landscape using unique compositions and viewpoints. Her latest works showcase Queensland’s rich heritage, featuring historical buildings and artefacts which still exist today in our community. The artworks explore the inherent feelings embedded in these relics which connect us to another time and pose questions about their former owners or inhabitants. Combining fiction and reality, her works foster discussions about nostalgia and offer an imaginary step back in time.
