2nd Place (Tied) "Waveline"
by Ekaterina Mortensen
Ekaterina (Katya) Mortensen - born and educated in Leningrad (now St Petersburg), USSR
and migrated to Australia in 2000. Her family was one that venerated fine art, music and
literature. From childhood she had a strong interest and a proven ability in art as revealed
by her high achievements in art at school and draftsmanship at university. Despite these
skills and interests her academic life was directed to computer science. She worked in
different areas of computer applications but found most interest in connection of computers
and art in graphic design. Her interest and knowledge developed further when she was
employed as a graphic designer in the State Russian Museum’s publishing department,
“Palace Editions” producing high quality art books. When Ekaterina migrated to Australia in
2000, she concentrated on Australian landscapes in watercolour, then changed to an
emphasis in acrylics and more recently to oils with a wide variety of subjects throughout
these years. Ekaterina's exhibitions display her versatility and have included flowers, birds,
various animals and insects, urban and rural landscapes, and portraits. She has held
several solo exhibitions in Goulburn and the Illawarra, a joint exhibition at the TAP Gallery
Sydney, participated in group exhibitions in Goulburn, Austinmer, Gosford and Queanbeyan
and in the TAP Gallery’s Nude 3 Exhibition and Real Refuses. Ekaterina regularly enters the
Archibald and other important competitions, exhibits annually in the Sydney Easter Show,
the Canberra Show and the Camberwell and has sold works at those venues. Her works are
hung in various Australian states, USA, England and Russia. Katya was published in The
Artists Palette magazine No. 40 with insight and demonstration articles. Apart from her
stock of works, Ekaterina paints by commission - portraits, pets, flowers or any subject.

Art has always been in my life in one form or another. I grew up in a very talented family.
Both my parents are artists. My mother is a fabulous landscape oil and watercolor painter
and my father is a highly skilled wood worker who enjoys building furniture. Both my parents
owned and operated the most popular art gallery on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe for
nearly 40 years, Lakeside Gallery. My mother taught art to children and adults and my
father built frames. Growing up at the gallery I learned to paint from some of the best art
teachers around, including my mother. And I learned the skills of framing by a master, my
father. Growing up in Lake Tahoe and raising four children on my own was a challenge. The
creative atmosphere of Lakeside Gallery helped me balance the challenges.
I now live in Chico California. My children are grown and have children of their own. And I'm
still surrounding myself with art. I teach oil and acrylic painting to children and adults at the
best frame shop in Chico, Art Etc., where I also work part time as a framer.
