Kaz Hughes

Kaz Hughes is an emerging acrylic artist who explores the use of bold colour and texture. Inspired by a love of nature and unruly coastal flora.

She creates her own interpretations of botanical still life; wild flowers, banksias, pods, buds and seeds sprout exuberantly from rustic ceramic vessels.  

Kaz photographs macro and micro images of her surrounding coastal environment and collects ground material along her local pathways, beachfront and rocky headlands to inform her artwork. She works across several paintings simultaneously until each renders itself complete. Each piece with its own marks, its own brushstrokes, its own narrative.

There is an element of wilderness within each of her gathered bushy scenes.

Kaz exhibited as part of group show Perspecta at Studio 8 Currumbin in December 2025 and May Salon in 2026.
