About the Artist
Gladstone artist Katrina Elliott brings more than 20 years of experience creating public art, murals and collaborative community projects across Central Queensland. Her work explores the relationship between people, place and community, bringing creativity into public spaces, health environments and regional partnerships.
My Work Often Begins With a Simple Question.
- What if we could transform a cold clinical hospital space into one that feels welcoming, human and connected to community?
- What if public art could reflect the stories and identity of our region?
- What if we had a working artist studio at our airport, inviting visitors to experience creativity and local culture the moment they arrive?
- What if a mural, installation or collaborative artwork could reflect the identity of a place and the stories of the people who live there?
- What if creativity could bring people together and transform the way we experience our shared spaces?
Working across public art, murals and collaborative projects, my practice explores the relationship between people, place and community. Much of my work is developed through partnerships with organisations, health environments and local communities, where art becomes a tool for storytelling, reflection and connection.
Inspired by the landscapes and environments of Central Queensland, I am interested in how creative work can respond to place while also inviting participation and dialogue. Through both individual artworks and collaborative projects, I aim to create work that feels grounded in the communities and environments in which it exists.
For me, the question “What if we…?” is not just a starting point — it is an invitation to imagine new possibilities through art.
