Throughout her painting practice, Kate is reflecting the idea of heritage, a word built on concepts of ownership and value. Kate explores memories of her very unique and childhood growing up in a small village in the heart of the english countryside.
Kates work is a exploration of her memories of home, combined with distorting scenes of everyday life. Drawing on both the playful, cultural and nostalgic element of her youth, embracing a warm, rich colour pallet as she incorporates working with negative space.
These works embrace the power and necessity of community and the importance living in harmony with the land.
Kate now works full-time as an artist in her studio on Gubbi Gubbi land, (Noosa) QLD Australia. Being immersed in nature is essential for balanced living and nurturing Kates creativity. As a process driven artist Kates main focus and source of motivation is getting lost in the process. She likes to work without a finished concept in mind, so that she connects freely with her intuitive creative flow, allowing her energy to be transferred freely into her work.
