Hear Katherine Throne and Dr Linda Tyler discuss Katherine Throne’s practice and the power and importance of the flower in contemporary art.
Katherine Throne is a painter based in Wanaka. The tenacity, vigour and beauty of nature has motivated her work for many years. The energy the artist feels within a garden she translates into sweeping gestural marks, built-up washes, and thick layers of impasto oil paint. Recent exhibitions include Deep Roots, Tall Poppies at Sanderson, March 2025.
