Australian Botanical Artist & Surface Designer

Colourful art for the home you love

Hello, and welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Kirsten Katz, a Sydney botanical artist and surface pattern designer. I paint modern botanicals in a bold, playful style: Australian native flora like waratahs, banksias and gum blossom, timeless garden flowers, and exotic blooms like proteas, irises and orchids.

Whether you’re searching for an original painting for that special wall, prints and gifts that brighten every day, or artwork for your next fabric or homewares collection, I hope you find something here that makes you smile.

Where would you like to start?

Original Paintings

One-of-a-kind, hand-painted originals. Proteas, banksias, waratahs and gum blossom β€” bold colours, layered details, alongside expressive modern abstract pieces. Each painting is one of a kind. There’s only ever one original, and it’s yours. Original paintings are released in small collections throughout the year.

Art Prints & Wall Art

A wall that felt bare. Now it feels considered.

Kirsten’s most-loved paintings are available as archival art prints in three sizes, printed in Australia. Botanical wall art with real colour and real presence β€” every print begins as an original painting, and it shows.

Homewares & Gifts

Beautiful things you'll actually use β€” tea towels, coasters, napkins and gifts featuring modern botanical designs, made to bring colour into everyday life.

Meet the Artist

Flowers and colour have always been Kirsten's language. From textile design studios to licensing collections sold across Australia and the US, to a painting practice rooted in Australian native flora β€” her work is about one thing: bringing the beauty of nature into everyday living.
