Design Spaces: Paintings by Kaz
Introducing Kaz – an artist who has some of her beautiful mini canvases in our Design Spaces! We asked her a few questions about her little artworks.
1. Where are you from and how long have you been living on the Gold Coast?
I was born in Brisbane, and have lived here on the Coast for 30 years.
2. Where is your favourite spot on the Coast and why?
All of the Coast! I would not like to live anywhere else.
3. Describe your products in three words.
I’ll paint anything!
4. Why did you start to make what you do?
I love to paint and create, always have, ever since I could remember.
5. Did you get formal training in your art? (where/why/why not…would you?)
I have no training, I just really love to paint. But, I would always like to learn more.
6. Describe your studio – where is it, what do you like most about it?
My garage is my studio, I can get paint everywhere and it doesn’t matter, though I could do with more light.
7. What is on your ‘workbench’/desk right now?
My desk is always covered in paints, pens and brushes.
8. What does your working day look like? (as a designer/maker)
When I start on a painting, I could do it all day.
9. What/who inspires you the most?
Volunteering for Gold Coast Art Centre inspires me the most. I see a lot of art and meet all sorts of people.

I love most of my paintings! I love the pleasure they give me.
11. Any advice to other local makers?
Always believe in yourself.
