Kat
Apel

Kat Apel is a born-and-bred farm girl who’s scared of cows. She lives among the gum trees, kangaroos and cattle on a Queensland grazing property. Kat paints pictures with words, because much as she’d love to, Kat can’t draw. Kat was the 2019/2020 Primary Judge of the prestigious Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Awards. Kat specialises in poetry workshops for kids and adults – and staff professional development sessions across grades and curriculum areas. Kat is the grateful recipient of a 2018 and 2024 May Gibbs Creative Time Fellowship in Adelaide.
