Much of my work revolves around the exploration of identity and the visual perception by others. This is another work exploring these themes as well as being a tone and limited palette study.

Oil on canvas (this is the grey, black white painting) and then hot pink light modelling paste has been applied across the surface. Work is difficult to photograph because of the contrast colours and the reflectiveness of the dark painted surface. Sides are painted to match the front.

Creating her whole life and armed with a degree in Costume Design from Wimbledon School of Art, London, Kate starting to focus on painting more during the great lockdown 2020. Finding herself home alone, painting allowed an expressive and creative outlet that helped fill the void of isolation from the world. She quickly discovered a passion for painting, and specifically figurative and portraiture works, focusing on bright bold colour use and strong brush work. Her works take inspiration from the Pop Art, WPAP & Impressionistic movements, experimenting with conveying identity, character, emotion and thoughts.
