As part of winning the Young Artist Award at the 2025 Queensland Regional Art Awards (QRAA), emerging Ipswich artist Kathryn Neilsen presents Natured & Nurtured, a solo exhibition at Land Street Gallery.
Working across photography and painting, Neilsen explores relationships between the human body and the natural landscape. Her practice is informed by a deep connection to trees and creating outdoors, with the environment acting as both subject and collaborator.
A graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2022, Neilsen has quickly established herself as an emerging Queensland artist. Natured & Nurtured builds on the body of work recognised by the Queensland Regional Art Awards, continuing her investigation into themes of place, ecology and embodied experience.
Neilsen’s award-winning work, Cabbage Tree Creek (2025), is currently touring Queensland as part of the Queensland Regional Art Awards Touring Exhibition.
