Lively Scout is the visual studio of Katie Lively, an Australian illustrator and designer whose work drifts through memory, material, and imagination.

Originally shaped by a love of 1960s/70s aesthetics, her practice is now evolving into a more open, intuitive exploration — inspired by the tension between analogue and digital techniques, and a deep interest in visual storytelling, texture, and process.

With a background in graphic design, branding, and illustration, her style blends bold colour, rhythmic patterning, and layered symbolism. What began as a nostalgic lens has become a broader investigation into how we hold images, stories, and emotions, crafting artwork that feels fragmented, dreamlike, and emotionally resonant.

From editorial and packaging to large-scale and personal work, Lively Scout offers a distinctive visual voice grounded in experimentation and feeling.
