That Sinking Feeling: Original Hand Pulled Etching Print by Artist Kate Belvedere
"He took a wave and drowned her,
She took a wave and lifted him;
And I was born where shadows are
In sea-depths dim."
Inspired by this verse from Fiona Macleod's The Moon Child, a poem about a Selkie child. Selkies are mythological seal folk that change from human to seal by wearing a seal's coat. This poor lady has lost her coat...

Kate Belvedere is an artist living in the High Country mountains of Australia. A painter, draftswoman and printmaker, Kate uses these mediums to explore themes of decay. She is particularly interested in investigating the life giving and life taking aspects of the natural world.
Kate completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2017 specialising in sculpture. It wasn’t until after she left university that she began oil painting and printmaking. Since then, they have become the major focus of her work. Heavy aquatinting conveys a sense of dark, otherworldliness in her prints, while similarly in her paintings, figures emerge out of thick brushstrokes, into light.
"I create my art because it satisfies my soul. Sometimes mournful, sometimes silly, I intend to create work that is true to my understanding of this funny old thing we call life."
