Biography
Kate Leviny, a member of the Leviny family of Castlemaine, was an artist and photographer. Some of her images were published in The Australasian Photo-Review magazine between 1914 and 1922. She also did embroidery and appliqué needlework and made rag rugs from scraps of fabric which are kept at the former family home Buda. Two of her embroideries were included in the landmark First Australian Exhibition of Women’s Work 1907. Kate was a keen and knowledgeable collector of art. Among her purchases retained at Buda Historic House and Garden, once the Leviny family home, are works by Margaret Preston, Mildred Lovett, Norbertine Bresslern Roth and other women printmakers of the era. Kate, like her sister Mary, was involved in the establishment of the Castlemaine Art Gallery in 1913, and in the late 1920s was involved in developing the gallery’s collection of prints. .
