Kate Daw was born in 1965 in Esperance, Western Australia, and her family moved to Sorrento when she was five.[1] She initially studied art at the Western Australian Institute of Technology but dropped out when she was 18.[2] After moving to Melbourne, Daw graduated in Painting at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in 1989,[1] and began exhibiting work extensively from 1992.[3]

She collaborated with Scottish artist Stewart Russell on a series of works beginning in 2007,[4] including a residency at the Melbourne Cricket Ground,[5] where they developed Two Homes, Another World (2016), a project with Indigenous Australian football player Liam Jurrah,[2] and the installation Civil Twilight End (2011) at Melbourne Docklands.[4]

In the 2000s, Daw taught Painting at VCA, where she also begun her Doctorate,[1] with the thesis titled The Between Space: narrative in contemporary visual practice.[6] After five years as Head of Painting, she was made Head of Art at the VCA in 2018.[4]
