About the Artist
Kate Mikhailov is a metal, wood and ceramic sculptor who specialises in contemporary pieces made with the beautiful and inspiring local materials of the Bay Area. As a Eurasian Australian migrant, her connection with land is strong and she forages for materials in California as a way to connect with and value her new land and place. Her original copper, steel and driftwood works add movement, colour and depth to interiors, radiating positive energy and inspiring creativity and motivation in commercial, landscape and interior spaces. Mikhailov creates sculptures, kinetic mobiles and display art that focus on themes that help protect the natural world by highlighting it’s beauty and illustrating what a harmonious relationship between humans and nature can look like. The artist aims to bring the natural world into focus so as to nurture connection with the environment.
