COASTAL

A collection of paintings capturing the beauty and vibrancy of the South West coast of England.

These expressive works cleverly combine painting with drawing and mark making. Kate has a natural mastery with colour, adding gestural details of coastal plants and rock formations she reveals the beauty and fragility of our coasts.  Walking the coastline with her sketch books, and art materials, making small paintings and studies, she documents and collects all she needs to create larger works back in her studio.

" I want my works to transport the viewer to that special place, evoke memories and sentiments of being by the ocean, feeling the wind and tasting that salt in the air. Developing a connection with a place is what draws me in to create a painting”

Work can currently be viewed at :
