Kate Just is an Australian visual artist based in Melbourne who creates highly personal mixed media installations and sculptures around themes of feminism, womanhood, identity and personal narrative within the context of history and mythology.


She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1974 and moved to Melbourne permanently in 1996 where she has gained a number of degrees, namely a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts (where she now lectures), a Masters of Arts from RMIT, and a doctorate in sculpture from Monash.

She has been widely exhibited in solo shows and group shows across Australia and internationally, and has been the recipient of many grants and prizes. She was included in the 'Louise Bourgeois and Australian Artists’ exhibition at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2012. Some of her most notable solo exhibits included her work Venus Was Her Name at the Kunsthalle in Krems, Austria, and a survey of her major knitted works entitled, 'Kate Just: The Knitted Work 2004-2011’, at Ararat Regional Gallery. She is currently represented by Daine Singer gallery in Melbourne.
