About Katherine Boland
Katherine Boland immigrated from England to Australia in 1961 and grew up on the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria. After dropping out of art school in the mid 1970s, she left the city to live an alternative lifestyle on 100 acres of bush on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. In the following years she reconnected with her art and established herself as a professional Australian artist. Katherine has exhibited throughout Australia and overseas and has been the recipient of numerous art prizes, grants and scholarships. Her artwork is included in corporate, public and private collections in Australia, Europe, Asia and the US.
Hippy Days, Arabian Nights is Katherine's first literary project. It was longlisted for the Mslexia Literary Award for Memoir in the United Kingdom in 2014.
