Career

Kate Daw was born in 1965 in Esperance, Western Australia, and her family moved to Sorrento when she was five. She initially studied art at the Western Australian Institute of Technology but dropped out when she was 18. After moving to Melbourne, Daw graduated in Painting at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in 1989, and began exhibiting work extensively from 1992.

Her work incorporated canvas, ceramic, fabric and paper, though she later moved away from painting. She began a Master of Fine Arts degree at Glasgow School of Art in 1995, completing it back in Australia at RMIT University, and also had several international artist residencies through the 1990s and 2010s.

She collaborated with Scottish artist Stewart Russell on a series of works beginning in 2007, including a residency at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where they developed Two Homes, Another World (2016), a project with Indigenous Australian football player Liam Jurrah, and the installation Civil Twilight End (2011) at Melbourne Docklands.

In the 2000s, Daw taught Painting at VCA, where she also begun her Doctorate, with the thesis titled The Between Space: narrative in contemporary visual practice. After five years as Head of Painting, she was made Head of Art at the VCA in 2018.

After undergoing treatment for cancer, Kate Daw died 7 September 2020, aged 55.
