About
Kate McLeod is a full-time multimedia painter living in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. McLeod creates immersive abstract paintings that channel rhythm, movement, and energetic resonance.
After graduating from UC with a BA in Art History and Sociology, McLeod’s creative path has included roles in set design, teaching, advertising, historic restoration and technology. Living across London, San Francisco, Ankara and Sydney has informed a practice shaped by curiosity and cultural exchange.
McLeod has exhibited extensively across Aotearoa and internationally. This year, she was selected among the Top 10 artworks at the NZ Art Show and also exhibited in New York. She has represented New Zealand as an invited artist in China, and has been a keynote speaker at the Silk Road Artists’ Rendezvous and New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts.
McLeod accepts commissions and creates bespoke works to any scale, with fully customisable substrates and framing.
Human Trace is from the Anthropological Intelligence Series - as opposed to the artifical type. A physical rebellion against the reliance on machines to do our thinking and creating. I wish AI would do my washing, not try and replace my thought.
