Artist Respite Program | Kate Stroud 28 March - 4 April 2025

Kate Stroud is a vision hunter, a visual communicator, artist, sign writer and large-scale muralist, whose joyful, provocative, and sometimes rebellious works are synonymous with the outspoken and creative spirit of the Northern Rivers region.
