Based on the edge of the Peak District in rural Derbyshire, UK, Kate originally hails from Sussex, having moved to the area over 20 years ago.

 

A visual artist, Kate's practice is informed by marks that life has left behind, both in the landscape and of self. 

​

Using a range of mediums, including ceramics, gesso, textiles and natural found pigments and materials, she explores the idea of traces of what was once there and what remains: the beauty in decay, the subtle and not so subtle marks and layers of interactions with the landscape - by humans, flora and fauna and the elements - and the story that tells.

​

Since completing her Art Foundation as a mature student in 2007, Kate has exhibited her work in Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire including Wirksworth Festival, Ashbourne Festival, The Clayrooms Open Studios and Welbeck Open Studios. She was a founding member of the collective Farrago, allowing her to further explore conceptual and installation-based work.

​

Kate works from her studio at Haarlem Artspace, Wirksworth.
