The Ubiquitous Magpie
Nillumbik has diverse native flora and fauna. What could be more representative of the Shire than the ubiquitous magpie. Waking to its fine, fluty, melodious carolling is one of the pure joys of living in the ‘green wedge’.
Cate Laidler
Cate is a Melbourne-based visual artist with a background in furniture design. Her art practice is multidisciplinary, with painting being predominant. Since taking up formal study her artwork has become more considered, conceptual, and expansive, a mix of figuration and abstraction. Cate explores contemporary concepts that reflect upon the world around her, both physical and metaphysical. Her work investigates identity; perception; memory; beauty; imperfection; and loss. She hopes her work will inspire curiosity, offer a unique perspective, and lead to deeper contemplation and dialogue about the human condition.
Cate is currently studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Painting at RMIT University. The Ubiquitous Magpie Nillumbik has diverse native flora and fauna.
