She began painting 16 years ago along with her sister Julie-Anne Paige who is a prominent artist in her own right. Kathleen paints bush tucker and childrens stories which reflect her own happy childhood growing up with her family out in the bush. Kathleens work is keenly sought after by the locals in her community, interstate and overseas.
