Kate Wilson seamlessly navigates between site-specific large-scale wall drawing installations, painting, and digital applications. In her recent Night Botanicals series of oil paintings she explores botanical forms, shadowy ghosts and wind patterns: small contained architectures deeply embedded in organic environments that themselves are caught up in wild weather: roaming the back of a fictional wind. There is an intertwining relationship between botanical forms, planetary shapes, audio spectrum, distant constellations, and molecular components suspended in space and darkness. In addition to her observation of the natural world, her work is inspired by a zeitgeist of images.

Wilson has garnered both national and international recognition, earning awards from the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts. Her participation in group exhibitions spans global institutions including the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, University at Buffalo Center for the Arts, HeK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel, Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

Her work is included in numerous collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, BMO Financial Group, TD Bank Collection and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
