G'day!
As an early actor, Katherine wrote and performed in many productions at that time, including theatre, film and TV roles. This complemented her work as a columnist journalist and writer. (The Australian, The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, The West Australian, Women’s Health, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Ms London, etc.) Her 2007 memoir made the best-seller list in the UK (Ebury/Random House).
She has published a number of award-winning articles, plays and poems – and commissions. Much of her work can be found in both the British and WA State Libraries.
With the advent of parenthood, Katherine became a high-school teacher, graduating amongst Australia’s top 3%. This included winning WACOT’s World Teacher Award and working with indigenous teens in the remote Northern Territory.
Academically, she has a bachelor’s degree in fine art, secondary education – as well as law – winning the Ward Keller Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement in Legal Comparative Legal History, in 2024.
Now mature-age, with her children grown, she’s returned to her first loves, writing, art and performing. She’s an ardent, expert guide on Dickens and Shakespeare, an Oxfordian, a committed cinephile and sometime reviewer.
