Kate Hellard worked
as a leading staff illustrator with the
Melbourne
Herald-Sun group of newspapers and magazines for ten years.
She
subsequently combined full time painting with teaching art to secondary and
adult students at the Council of Adult Education, Hawthorn Artists Society,
Mentone-Mordialloc Art Group and Beaumaris Art group.
Now in her 80’s, Kate is still an active member of the above mentioned art societies, as well as the Contemporary Artists Society and Victorian Artists Society. Kate and Frank (her cartoonist/illustrator husband) live in Frankston
where
she continues to paint full time and attend weekly life-class.
Throughout
the years, Kate travelled widely in France, Italy and Japan on Art Study
Tours. Her chief influences have been
Matisse, Picasso and later, the expressionists of the Cobra School. Current
passions are drawings by Henry Moore, paintings of the Italian classicists and
the Japanese printmakers.
Kate believes
that an artist’s inner impulses will prevail over any influences, and that a
creative artist needs an active imagination and a good visual memory.
Her desire is
to produce aesthetically pleasing and visually engaging images.
Kate
Hellard’s paintings and drawings are represented in many corporate, private and
Government collections throughout Australia and overseas.
