Kate Stroud is multidisciplinary artist.
a vision hunter, a visual communicator, signwriter, large-scale muralist and documentary maker, whose joyful, provocative, and sometimes rebellious works are synonymous with the outspoken and creative spirit of the Northern Rivers region.
Her vibrant murals and signs adorn laneways, footpaths, walls, arcades, shopfronts, and the interiors of local businesses from Lismore to Perth and chances are she has designed the logo or interior of that local businesses you love.
A fierce advocate for community-led development and a vibrant creative economy, Kate’s work is a constant celebration of identity and survival.
In 2022 Kate lost her home in the 2022 Lismore Climate Disaster flooding event. In the weeks that followed Kate ended up an ‘accidental activist’ and representation for the region speaking on most news and current event programs revealing the shortcomings of the agencies leading up, during and after the event. This is where Catherine and Kate’s paths collided and where ‘When the River Rose’ was born. Kate was initially asked to join the project as a presenter, but it was soon identified that her skill set stretched far beyond this initial ask and she stepped into a producer, writer and promoter role.
Kate and Catherine will be leaning into their creative collaboration powers and expanding Yellow Fox Productions in new exciting, dynamic and innovative ways.
