Kat Noonan was born in Canada in 1961 to a German father and a Danish mother. Her parents divorced in 1970 and she moved to Denmark with her mother and siblings, where she grew up.
The Scandinavian culture and nature influenced her greatly.
From 1991 to 1994 she attended a small, private art school in Odense, Denmark. She studied Classical Drawing, Live Figure Drawing, Blind Contour and Still Life Drawing. It was there that she learned the fundamentals of art. This was invaluable as she stepped further into art and started painting on her own.
In 1995, she moved to Canada and married.
1999 saw her living in Japan with her husband for a brief time. This was undoubtedly an experience of a lifetime. She observed both the similarities and differences between Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics. From that, she fused her own style.
From 2000 through 2010 she and her husband moved between Canada and Denmark a few times.
In 2010, her life changed dramatically and she stopped painting. She and her husband settled in Canada.
After a decade, she started painting again in 2020. In 2021, she started her Instagram account. She works consistently and is establishing herself as an emerging artist.
Her works have been featured in several online galleries, including New Art’s Top 6 Group Show of the “6 best artists in contemporary art at this time”. (September - October 2022)
