Katie Lloyd

I paint the sacred feminine through myth, archetype and the natural world, bringing a little ritual and magic into everyday spaces.

My work explores women’s lives through the archetypes of maiden, mother and matriarch, and the wild, mythic parts of ourselves that sit just beneath the everyday. I paint from my own experience as a woman rather than as an authority, and I hope my work offers the viewer a moment of beauty, recognition and quiet power.

I work in watercolour, ink and acrylic, often layered with watercolour pencil, building up texture, colour and light slowly. I spent much of my childhood at the Norman Lindsay Gallery, and his work, along with John William Waterhouse, Arthur Rackham and Brian Froud, still shapes how I see myth and the figure. Alongside the mythic work, I paint botanicals and Australian wildlife from close observation.

All my work is made without AI-generated images or references.

I live and paint in Nimbin, on the Country of the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge their continuing connection to this land.
