 Katie Alleva lives and breathes art. She calls herself primarily a
print-maker but also loves to draw, collage, paint, rip up paper, machine stitch on paper, take photographs and create artists books. Katie is a dedicated practitioner who currently works whenever she has some spare time away from teaching full-time in a busy high school setting, in her home studio in Lismore. She loves working with the tactile properties of various intaglio techniques such as etching and embossing and has a real affinity with the humble collagraph in her present work. She runs her own 'mobile art gallery' from the Byron Bay and Bangalow art and craft markets and is planning to open her own concept gallery shop one day soon in the Northern Rivers region. Katie Alleva's delicately stitched prints exude an earthy yet unique intuitive vision of the world around her. She explores the wonders of nature, questions the vastness of space and contemplates the notion of quiet. Her works often display simple and subtle forms that exude a somewhat poetic existence. Katie seeks to let the artwork 'emerge' from the entropy of day to day living, layering and stitching new meanings, reflective of time passing. |
