Artist Statement: “Khrissy babe is a portrait of moi dressed as my beloved Miss Piggy to go to a school dance.  My siblings teased and taunted me for the “Pig” costume (they had no idea!)  At the school dance the kids tried to tease me, and my siblings stood up and defended me.  Turns out, only my siblings could tease me.”

Khristie Barratt is a Brisbane-based visual artist working predominantly in screen printing. Her practice explores nostalgia, identity and popular culture through bold imagery, kitsch aesthetics and references to vintage toys and consumer culture. Combining humour with a playful and considered approach, her work examines the ways images shape personal and collective memory. Her recent achievements include being shortlisted for the Brisbane Portrait Prize in 2026, winning the Ipswich Art Awards Printmaking category in 2024, and exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions across Queensland.
