Katherine Coulthard

Katherine Coulthard grew up in the remote community of Apatula in the Northern Territory, and now resides in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

She grew up watching and learning weaving from artists Nelly Patterson, Mintatjarra Wilson and other elders from Mutitjulu. Her sister Justine Anderson taught her to weave with coloured raffia, and she began making Tjanpi in 2023. Katherine loves to make baskets, bowls and dream catchers, often incorporating painted gumnuts and emu feathers.

She also paints Honey Ant Dreaming, Kungkarangkalpa (Seven Sisters) and women's Dreaming/Ceremonies.
