September Feature Artist

Katie Mclellen

Katie Mclellan describes herself as, “an esthetic person who sees beauty in the ordinary”.

Organic in appearance, lyrical in nature, She allows the medium to tell a story. Working in fabric, glass and eclectic materials, Katie creates pieces, which express her sense of humour and appreciation of nature's beauty. She also has a true connection with the natural world around her. “I feel there is no better art than what the planet brings to view, says Mclellan, “Nature is a constant source of curiosity and intrigue, and on every scale we are awed by this universal gallery”. Texture and colour are freckled with oddities in her pursuit of making a work individual and “One of a kind”.

She also feels very strongly about supporting local and national talent and believes that it is essential for building strong communities and countries. Using materials found or sourced from her area, Katie builds from her environment. Much of her fabric is recycled from clothing and furniture; beach stones, wood, seeds and other found objects comprise her jewellery. Even her business cards and tags are reused cardboard. “No two are alike”, Katie explains, “Handcrafted original art is what I'm all about”.

You can find Katie’s work on her website www.katiemclellan.com as well as Stardust BookLounge and Artopia Gallery and Framing.
