ABOUT CATRIONA POLLARD – Award winning fibre artist and international corporate speaker and trainer
Catriona Pollard is an internationally recognised speaker, trainer, and award-winning fibre artist whose work and teachings inspire deep connection, both with creativity and the natural world. Renowned for her ability to translate complex ideas into practical skills, she delivers presentations and workshops that empower people to implement new knowledge for real-world results immediately.
She has shared her insights with thousands across Australia and the globe, presenting for organisations such as TEDx, DELL, CeBIT, TAL, CPA Australia, Women on Boards, the CEO Institute, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, and the University of Sydney. Her motivational TEDx talk has inspired widespread audiences, blending professional development with personal transformation.
In 2012, approaching burnout, Catriona took a pivotal step. Realising she needed more than balance, she sought a deeper connection to creativity, not for perfection, but for play, exploration, and disconnection from the digital world. That turning point led her to nature-based art and traditional fibre techniques, sparking a personal and professional transformation. As a result, she not only reshaped her business with renewed vision and stability but also emerged as a celebrated contemporary artist. Through sculptural works made from foraged plant fibres and recycled materials, she investigates humanity’s relationship with nature, the unseen forces that connect us, and the interplay between light, shadow, and form.
Catriona’s intricate, handwoven sculptures are meditative explorations of connection, interconnection, and transformation. Her work has been recognised in solo, group and touring exhibitions, including the Australian Design Centre and Sturt National Craft Centre. She has been a winner and finalist in prestigious awards such as the Australian Textile Art Award, International Art Textile Biennale, Environmental Art & Design Prize, and Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize. Her work has been profiled by major media, including ABC TV, Gardening Australia and Good Weekend, SMH/The Age, and featured in the book Woven Together: Weavers and Their Stories. Watch her talk about her art at Click for more talks and media.
As a passionate educator, Catriona has been teaching nature-based fibre art and creativity for over 10 years, leading sold-out sculptural basketry workshops across Australia and internationally. She regularly delivers artist talks and weaving demonstrations for museums, galleries, and community groups, and founded the online platform School of Basketry Art, where students from around the world learn traditional techniques in a contemporary context.At the heart of everything she does—whether on stage, in the studio, or in the classroom—is a commitment to reconnecting people with creativity, nature, and their potential for transformation.
