Portfolio
Kate's paintings explore light, colour, and atmosphere through intuitive abstraction. Inspired by shifting landscapes and the rhythms of the natural world, each work develops through layered colour, expressive mark-making, and an openness to discovery.
All paintings are created on gallery-wrapped heavy-duty canvases (1.5" profile) stretched over kiln-dried bars. The edges are professionally finished in a complementary edge colour and sealed with a permanent gloss or satin varnish to protect the artwork and enhance colour depth. Dimensions are listed as height × width (inches).
Wild Growth

Individual forms gather, expand, and interact across the canvas, creating compositions that feel vibrant, organic, and alive. These paintings celebrate growth, discovery, and the unexpected beauty that emerges through process and observation.
