Kate's profile
My work is based on observation and process.
I methodically build my oil paintings out of layers of transparent glaze. This slow and meditative process creates luminous color and a richness of surface that references industrial finishes. Experimenting with paint application has become essential to my practice. In my most recent work, I examine the visual evidence of climate change. It is my hope that these paintings lead the viewer to contemplate the dire circumstances that have inspired them.

Working mainly in oil on canvas, her most recent paintings are nature inspired, high gloss abstractions that explore formal issues of color and surface.
