Creating has always been a part of my life journey. I’ve always loved to explore colour and design and to make things that make me happy. Not a day goes by that I am not painting, drawing, designing or planning for my next creative move. It’s like a sixth sense that I cannot quite explain or turn off.
I remember back to my days as a high school student, drawing in the light of my bedside lamp instead of sleeping. The urge to create was strong then too.
I’ll try my hand at anything. From crochet to painting murals, from climbing 8 metre scaffolding and hanging wall cladding to doodling with my pen when I’m bored. My brain does not rest for long, however, painting helps it to slow down and stay in the moment.

Boy-girl-boy.
I spend much of my time running around after them with all of their many sporting obsessions and music lessons.
When I make the time… I paint!
There was so much excitement in our house today when the painting arrived! Thanks Kate, the pear is just gorgeous. It is perfect for our kitchen and dining area. The photos just dont do it justice.
When searching for an artist to create my first ever commissioned piece I was nervous that the results wouldn’t be what I’d hoped for, but from the first interaction with Kate I knew I was in good hands. I asked her to use colours from an existing print I have but to still keep her unique style, and that’s exactly what she did. I can’t wait to hang, “It feels like home” in OUR brand new home, it really is one of a kind!
Thanks again Kate, you nailed it!
I am so pleased to have commissioned Kate to paint an original piece for our bedroom.
Upon commencement, we discussed at length the colour palette, size and theme I was after. She took the time to work with me to ensure the end product was exactly what I was after. The painting that we have been presented with has exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process Kate demonstrated skill, professionalism, creative dedication and an energetic commitment to the piece.
I look forward to supporting your work and following your progress with your future endeavours in the art world.
