Kat Johnston - a quick portrait of myself, Kat Johnston, with my current hair cut and colour. Yay for pink!

Kat Johnston is an emerging visual artist based in Brisbane, Australia. In 2006, she graduated from a Bachelor of Creative Industries (visual arts) at the Queensland University of Technology and has since gone on to complete a Graduate Certificate in Arts and Creative Industries Management at the same institution and a subsequent masters in the same field.

Alongside more artistic pieces, she also enjoys more illustrative work, creating jewelery and generally trying just about every possible craft known to mankind. She adores quirky things and she likes prairie dogs.

She shares her studio with two enterprising kittens who aren’t adverse to jumping up and just missing a palette full of nice wet paint. Sometimes they don’t miss.

In the column to the right, there is a section entitled ‘Find me on’ which lists some of the social networking sites on which she is involved. Any of those might give you a little bit more of an idea about the artist behind the sketches, the artwork and quirky descriptive tendancies.

Oh! And unfortunately her hair isn’t still short and pink… it’s had a colour change, and has grown a bit. I’ll update the picture soonish!
