Kathleen Sauerbier studied in London from 1925-27 at the Central School of Art where she was exposed to early modernism before returning to South Australia in 1928 and more importantly for her painting, moving to Port Willunga. Between 1930 – 35 she regularly exhibited at the South Australian Society of Arts. Her work is characterized by her strong use of tone and design, her lively paintwork and interesting viewpoints in her compositions. She exhibited a free use of colour, which could be used to define mood and form.
