Kate Maura is a Toronto-based mixed media artist whose work merges plein air drawing with a long-standing fascination for winged forms—particularly butterfly wings. Their shifting patterns, structures, and movements serve as both subject and catalyst, generating abstracted shapes that pulse through her canvases. Look closely and traces of these forms appear and reappear, layered, reconfigured, and transformed into new visual worlds. For Maura, wings operate as a metaphor for transition, permeability, and the spaces that exist between one state and another.
Drawing from a lifetime spent in the natural landscapes of her family farm and the canoe routes of Algonquin Park, Maura’s practice is rooted in close observation and the sensory experience of being outdoors. Her work translates the quiet, immersive qualities of these environments into a meditative visual language. By blending hand-drawn studies with digital processes—scanning, layering, manipulating colour and form—she builds compositions that sit at the intersection of intuition and technology. The result is a mixed-media practice that bridges the natural and the imagined, capturing not just what nature looks like, but how it feels to move through it.
