Kat Cameron studied fine art with honors at The University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa. Since then, she has collaborated on many projects, and has participated in numerous exhibitions in South Africa and in Japan.
With Alba Poretti, she produced the company MissYucki, which specializes in narrative based character design, art and accessory design. Recently, she organised and curated
her first solo show for MissYucki with Alba in Johannesburg.
The MissYucki project has toured from New York to Spain and aims to de-construct the stereotypical images of Africa and instead present a unique experience of urban Africa.
In context Kat has concentrated on pushing the boundaries of illustration into a fine-art framework while keeping a firm eye on the fantastical and narrative driven aspects of the illustration experience. Currently Kat is residing and working in Barcelona, Spain. She is available for Illustration work and web design.
