Using exclusively the technique of drypoint, Kim Westcott captures the intimate stirrings of nature. She conveys the abstract movements of the Australian landscape in all its diversity, whether it be the Central Desert, the southern coastline, or the Great Dividing Range, a steep and rugged mountain chain near where the artist has lived since 2001, in the state of Victoria.

Kim Westcott hollows out and scratches large copper plates, applying and spraying materials onto them, pushing the traditional boundaries of printmaking. She often uses industrial tools to create the marks and patterns she achieves. She embraces the visual possibilities and lyrical dynamism of this method, exploiting the ridges and hollows formed by the lines and dots she engraves into the copper.

This instinctive approach extends to her inking techniques, printing directly from the plates. Her connection to her geographical environment is both innate and spiritual, and it reveals itself in the originality and beauty of her works, which are held in major Australian and international collections.
