About Kate

Kate has a BS in fine art and zoology. She has worked as a professional artist and designer for over 20 years, and teaches design at a university.  She is bordering on obsessed with nature, and loves to paint all natural subject matter including flowers, landscapes, and animals in oil, watercolor, and chalk pastel. 

vision

I seek beauty in nature and paint what catches my eye.

UNIQUENESS

I see all the details and love to recreate those details in my work. Conversely, I enjoy the challenge of trying to express shape, values, light, and color with bold, loose brush strokes.

philosophy​

"I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.” — Van Gogh
