About the Author

Katherine Boland was born in the north of England in 1957, emigrating to Australia with her parents and younger sister in 1961, where she grew up on the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria. After dropping out of art school (RMIT) in the mid 1970s, she left the city to live, for almost three decades, an alternative lifestyle on the Far South Coast of New South Wales. For the last 15 years, she has been living in Melbourne pursuing a career as an artist. She has exhibited throughout Australia and overseas and has been the recipient of numerous art prizes, grants and scholarships. Her artwork is included in corporate, public and private collections in Australia, Europe, Asia and the US.

Reviews

'Hippy Days, Arabian Nights is an enthralling memoir of an unconventional life boldly lived, told with sparkling description, affectionate humour and from a full heart.'
--Anne Crawford, non-fiction author​'A wonderful depiction of living without bounds and loving without fear. Katherine writes like she lives: courageously, passionately and without regret.'
--Kimina Lyall, former South East Asian correspondent, The Australian​'This sparkling memoir will take you deeply into the lives of back-to-the-earth, self-sustaining hippies of the 80s and 90s and a passionate relationship between a feminist free-thinker and an Egyptian man twenty-seven years her junior. Artist Katherine Boland lived on the edge of social mores that most of us cling to. She tells her extraordinary story with humour, insight and a painterly eye.'
--Jill Sanguinetti, author​'Funny, wry, heart breaking at times but always utterly absorbing, this is a must read. Katherine will charm readers with her self-deprecating humour and engaging frankness.'
--Rebecca Barber, ANU Library​
