Printmaking
Kate is a print and pattern maker. She is inspired by the natural world and her work is a celebration of the native flora and fauna of the British Isles and in particular Scotland (where her studio is based). Sustainability and craft are at the heart Kate's design ethos. Her work is stocked in galleries and shops throughout the UK, including TOAST and John Lewis, and has been featured in Contry Living Magazine several times. Kate studied art and design at Central Saint Martins and Wimbledon School of Art.
Metalwork Sculptures
I grew up on the Isle of Lewis and, after 4 years at Camberwell School of Arts, lived on Orkney for 19 years. This enabled my love of fishing, diving and the sea to combine with my developing skills in metalwork. I use traditional, age-old metal work techniques with pewter, copper, bronze and goldleaf, to produce contemporary and unique pieces of art, mainly of fish and the marine environment. My artistic endeavour is to observe and capture fleeting moments of nature, from the calm and tension before a trout strikes to the pure excitement of the sudden, synchronised turn of a mass herring shoal. I express an emotional response to something very private, a moment shared between human and nature, suggesting a balance and a suspension, using the brooding colours of the background to saturate the work with a contemplative stillness.
