Chloe Caday is a painter based in She Oaks, Wadawurrung, Victoria. Drawing deeply on her Filipino roots, Caday explores her relationship to the land and acknowledges the ability of the landscape to hold forgotten histories, inspire stories, and inform and shape culture.

Working primarily outdoors allows Caday to directly experience and absorb her environment, which then begins her process of re-interpreting the landscape. Caday’s use of gestural mark making and responding to and mimicking the movement and sound of the landscapes in which she paints is a central technique to her practice.
