Mermaid Art School is synonymous with Adelaide Artist, Kate Alexandra Pulford Filsell.
Kate is an expressionistic painter, multimedia drawing artist and illustrator, working predominantly in oil, acrylic, charcoals, pastels and collage.
Figure and landscape are combined as Kate injects her canvas with a sense of unease via strained expressions and anthropomorphic forms. Kate’s portraiture work has been likened to the painting styles of Louis LeBrocquy, Ben Quilty, Francis Bacon and Egon Schiele.
Kate has exhibited both in group and solo shows in Adelaide, notably during Adelaide Fringe and SALA, where most artworks have been collected.
Kate lives and works in Adelaide, as an artist. Since 2004 she has also been the professional Archivist and Curator at the State Library of South Australia. Kate has recently started working as a children's book illustrator. She also collaborates on projects with her husband Adelaide Jazz composer Tom Pulford.
